Better a dry crust with peace and quiet,
than a house full of feasting with strife!
(17:1)
A friend loves at all time,
and a brother is born for the time of adversity.
(17:17)
Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud.
(16:19)
The righteous choose their friends carefully,
but the way of wicked lead them astray.
(12:26)
Do not envy the wicked,
do not desire their company,
for their hearts plot violence,
and their lips talks about trouble.
