As the divisions of waters, so the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whithersoever he will he shall turn it.

The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right.
9 Gara a zauna a kusurwar rufin ɗaki da a zauna a gida ɗaya da mace mai fitina.
It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house.
10 Mugun mutum yakan zaƙu ya aikata mugunta; maƙwabcinsa ba ya samun jinƙai daga gare shi.
The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour.
11 Sa’ad da aka hukunta mai ba’a marasa azanci suka yi wayo; sa’ad da aka yi wa mai hikima umarni yakan sami sani.
When a pestilent man is punished, the little one will be wiser: and if he follow the wise, he will receive knowledge.
12 Mai Adalci kan lura da gidan mugu kan kuma zama sanadin lalacin mugu.
The just considereth seriously the house of the wicked, that he may withdraw the wicked from evil.

A man that shall wander out of the way of doctrine, shall abide in the company of the giants.

He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich.
18 Mugu kan zama abin fansa don adali, marar aminci kuma don mai aikata gaskiya.
The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous.
19 Gara a zauna a hamada da a zauna da mace mai fitina da kuma mugun hali.
It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.

The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness.
28 Mai ba da shaidar ƙarya zai hallaka, kuma duk wanda ya saurare shi zai hallaka har abada.
A lying witness shall perish: an obedient man shall speak of victory.
29 Mugun mutum kan yi tsayin daka, amma mai aikata gaskiya kan yi tunani a kan abin da yake yi.
