1Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
2Manghai kah a mueirhih tah sathueng kah a kawk bangla om tih, anih aka paan ngawn tah a hinglu ni a phai coeng.
2The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.

4Kolhnaw loh sikca ah pataeng caai voel pawh. Te dongah cangah ah a dawt tah a dawt dae dang voel pawh.
4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

11Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

19Baecenol he caemtuh loh a hliphen tih a caeh puei. Te dongah a ka neh aka hloih te rhikhang pah boeh.
19He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
