The eyes of Yahweh are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good.
A tongue that brings healing is a tree of life,
•••
Better is a dish of vegetables where there is love
Than a fattened ox and hatred in it.
•••
A man has gladness in an apt answer,
And how good is a timely word!
•••
He whose ear listens to the life-giving reproof
Will lodge among the wise.
He who neglects discipline despises his soul,
But he who listens to reproof acquires a heart of wisdom.
The fear of Yahweh is the discipline leading to wisdom,
And before glory comes humility.
