1. Better is a dry morsel in peace than the house of contention full of sacrifices for a feast.
2. A prudent slave shall have rule over a son that causes shame and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3. The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tries the hearts.
4. An evil doer gives heed to false lips, and a liar gives ear to the tongue which curses.
5. Whosoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker, and he that is glad regarding the calamity of someone else shall not go unpunished.
