1 Mudar sin sluša nastavu oca svojega; a potsmjevaè ne sluša ukora.
A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved.
2 Od ploda usta svojih svaki æe jesti dobro, a duša nevaljalijeh ljudi nasilje.

6 Pravda èuva onoga koji hodi bezazleno; a bezbožnost obara grješnika.
Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 Ima ko se gradi bogat a nema ništa, i ko se gradi siromah a ima veliko blago.
One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.

11 Blago koje se taštinom teèe umaljava se, a ko sabira rukom, umnožava.
Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.
12 Dugo nadanje mori srce, i želja je ispunjena drvo životno.

13 Ko prezire rijeè sam sebi udi; a ko se boji zapovijesti, platiæe mu se.

19 Ispunjena je želja slast duši, a bezumnima je mrsko otstupiti oda zla.
