- Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
- The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each is tested by the praise accorded him.
- Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
- Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds;
- For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations.

- When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
- The lambs will be for your clothing, And the goats will bring the price of a field,
- And there will be goats' milk enough for your food, For the food of your household, And sustenance for your maidens.
