| 25:24 | bbe | It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house. |
| 25:10 | bbe | Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away. |

| 25:18 | bbe | One who gives false witness against his neighbour is a hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow. |
| 25:12 | bbe | Like a nose-ring of gold and an ornament of the best gold, is a wise man who says sharp words to an ear ready to give attention. |

| 25:6 | bbe | Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great: |
| 25:21 | bbe | If your hater is in need of food, give him bread; and if he is in need of drink, give him water: |
| 25:3 | bbe | The heaven is high and the earth is deep, and the hearts of kings may not be searched out. |
| 25:22 | bbe | For so you will put coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will give you your reward. |

| 25:27 | bbe | It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured. |
| 25:16 | bbe | If you have honey, take only as much as is enough for you; for fear that, being full of it, you may not be able to keep it down. |
