Olam 2

<i>It is</i> joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction <i>shall be</i> to the workers of iniquity.

The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

He that loveth pleasure <i>shall be</i> a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

The wicked <i>shall be</i> a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

<i>It is</i> better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

<i>There is</i> treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

A wise <i>man</i> scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

Proud <i>and</i> haughty scorner <i>is</i> his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
