Assim como o fogo se apaga sem lenha, a contenda se dissipa sem um interlocutor, enquanto o homem contencioso alimenta o conflito da mesma forma que o carvão e a lenha alimentam as chamas.

Uma esposa briguenta é como um gotejamento constante num longo dia chuvoso. Controlar sua briguinha é como tentar conter o vento ou segurar óleo na mão.

The houses of the wicked are watched, and the watcher is patient but never absent.

Feed your hungry enemy and give your thirsty enemy water to drink. Such kindness heaps burning coals on his head, and the LORD himself rewards the giver.

Do not argue like the fool, or you will become like him yourself. Yet the fool must sometimes be answered directly when his self-deception needs correction.

Hiring a fool releases indiscriminate damage like an archer wounding everyone within range.

The sluggard multiplies excuses, avoids movement, and grows weary even in simple tasks, while still imagining himself wiser than men of sound judgment. His laziness is matched only by his self-deception.

The man who deceives his neighbor and dismisses it as a joke is compared to a madman hurling firebrands, arrows, and death without aim.

Just as fire dies without wood, contention fades without a whisperer, while the contentious man feeds conflict the way charcoal and wood feed flames.

A contentious wife is like a constant drip on a long rainy day. Restraining her contention is like restraining wind or grasping oil in the hand.

义人关心穷人的权益,而恶人却对此漠不关心。

恶人因自己的罪行而受害,义人却歌唱欢欣。

奉承邻居的人,无异于为邻居的脚设下陷阱。

君主的公正能稳定国家,而受贿则会颠覆国家。

喜爱智慧的儿子会让父亲高兴,而与妓女为伍的儿子会浪费财富。

义人增多,百姓就欢喜;恶人掌权,百姓就叹息。

一个人如果屡遭责备却依然铁石心肠,最终必将彻底崩溃,无可救药。

Saul comprometeu a missão que Deus lhe deu, impondo sua vontade pessoal sobre as instruções divinas e perdendo o privilégio de uma comunhão inabalável com o SENHOR.

扫罗违背了上帝赋予他的使命,将个人意志置于神圣指示之上,丧失了与耶和华保持坚定不移的团契的特权。

Saul compromised his God—given mission, asserting personal will over divine instructions and forfeiting the privilege of unwavering fellowship with the LORD.
