8 Para — uni bergüchining neziride ésil bir göherdur; Goya uni negila ishletse muweppeqiyetke érishidighandek.
A stone of grace [is] the bribe in the eyes of its possessors, Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9 Bashqilarning xataliqini yoputup kechürgen kishi méhir-muhebbetni közler; Kona xamanni sorighan kishi yéqin dostlarni düshmen qilar.

16 Exmeqning köngli danaliqni etiwarlimisa, Qandaqmu uning qolida danaliqni sétiwalghudek puli bolsun?
Why [is] this — a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart there is none?
