3 Yahawah () iyanay (eyes) are everywhere, keeping tzapah (watchman / keep watch) on the rai (evil) and the tawab (good / proper function).
4 A gentle lashawan (tongue / language) is a itz (tree) of chay (life), but deceit in it crushes the rawach (spirit / wind).

6 In the bayath (house) of the tzadayaq (righteous) is much chasan (treasure), but the income of the rashai (wicked) brings ikar (trouble).

27 He who is batzai (greedy) for batzai (gain) ikar (troubles) his own bayath (house), but he who shanaa (hate) bribes will chayah (live).
