A zsidó vallás Szent Tanakhjából: Példabeszédek könyve – Szemelvények a 25-27 fejezetekből, 1/2 rész

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. Debate thy cause with thy neighbour, but real not the secret of another; Least he that heareth it revile thee. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. A faithful messenger to him that sendeth him; for he refresheth the soul of his master. Like a city broken down and without a wall, so is he whose spirit is without restraint.
