Salamana Pamācības 10
1 Salamana sakāmie vārdi. Gudrs dēls ir tēva prieks, bet ģeķīgs mātes sirdēsti.
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
2 Netaisnas mantas nelīdz nenieka, bet taisnība izpestī no nāves.
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
