Salamana Pamācības 13
1 Gudrs dēls klausa tēva pārmācīšanai, bet mēdītājs neklausa rāšanai.
A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved.
2 Ikviens baudīs labumu no savas mutes augļiem, bet netiklo prieks ir mokas.

6 Taisnība pasargā to, kas bezvainīgs savā ceļā, bet bezdievība gāž grēkos.
Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 Cits lielās, ka bagāts, kam nav it nenieka, un cits turas kā nabags, un tam liela manta.
One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.

Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.
11 Manta vēja grābeklim iet mazumā, bet kas rokā sakrāj, tas to vairo.
Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.
12 Cerība, kas kavējās, grauž sirdi, bet kad nāk, ko gaida, tas ir dzīvības koks.
Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life.
13 Kas par vārdu nebēdā; tas dara sev postu; bet kas mācību tur godā, tam labi klāsies.
Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.
