- Have you found honey? Eat only what you need, That you not have it in excess and vomit it.
- Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor's house, Or he will become weary of you and hate you.
- Like a club and a sword and a sharp arrow Is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.
- Like a bad tooth and an unsteady foot Is confidence in a faithless man in time of trouble.
- Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on soda, Is he who sings songs to a troubled heart.

- If you find honey, eat just enough-- too much of it, and you will vomit.
- Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house-- too much of you, and he will hate you.
- Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is the man who gives false testimony against his neighbor.
- Like a bad tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in times of trouble.
- Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
