The Tongue

The whip leaves a mark but the lash of the tongue shatters bones.
Many have felled by the sword but many more have perished by the tongue.
Look, you put a fence around your property and protect your silver and gold. In the same way, make weights and scales for your words and put a bolted door […]

Controlling Your Language

Children, learn how to control your language; if you are able to watch over it, you will not be taken by surprise.
The sinner will be caught in his own words, as happens to the proud man and to him who curses.

Reasoning with a fool is like reasoning with a drowsy man; in the end, he will ask you, “ “What is it all about?”

A Sensible and Shameless Daughter

A sensible daughter is a treasure to her husband, but a disgraceful one is a burden to his father.
A shameless daughter brings disgrace on her father as well as her husband; both hate her.
Keep an eye on defiant daughter, so that she may not take advantage of some occasion.

Instruction is like a golden ornament to the shrewd man, like a bracelet on his arm.
The fool steps inside the house immediately, the experienced man would not be so […]
