1. No evils will befall one who fears the Lord. Instead, God will preserve him during temptation and will free him from evils.
2. A wise man does not hate the commandments and the justices, and so he will not be thrown about violently, like a ship in a storm.
3. A man of understanding puts his faith in the law of God, and so the law is faithful to him.
4. Whoever would resolve a dispute will prepare a word, and so, having prayed, he will be heard. And he will observe discipline, and then he will respond.
5. The heart of a fool is like the wheel of a cart. And his thoughts are like a turning axel.
6. A friend who is a whisperer is like an untamed horse: he neighs under anyone who sits upon him.
