8 As a brid passinge ouer fro his nest, so is a man that forsakith his place.
Mũndũ ũũrĩte gwake mũciĩ ahaana ta nyoni ĩtiganĩirie gĩtara kĩayo.
9 The herte delitith in oynement, and dyuerse odours; and a soule is maad swete bi the good counsels of a frend.

12 A fel man seynge yuel was hid; litle men of wit passinge forth suffriden harmes.
Mũndũ mũũgĩ oonaga ũgwati ũgĩũka akehitha, no arĩa matarĩ ũũgĩ mathiiaga o na mbere, nao magatoonya thĩĩna-inĩ.

14 He that blessith his neiybore with greet vois; and risith bi niyt, schal be lijk hym that cursith.
Mũndũ angĩrathima mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake rũciinĩ tene anĩrĩire-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio ũngĩtuĩka taarĩ kĩrumi.

21 As siluer is preuyd in a wellyng place, and gold `is preued in a furneys; so a man is preued bi the mouth of preyseris. The herte of a wickid man sekith out yuels; but a riytful herte sekith out kunnyng.
