He who winksthe eyecausestrouble,And a babblingfoolwill be ruined.
"Whydoes your heartcarryyou away? And whydo your eyesflash,
Do not let those who are wrongfullymy enemiesrejoiceover me; Nor let those who hateme withoutcausewinkmaliciously.
Wisemenstoreup knowledge,But with the mouthof the foolish,ruinis at hand.
The wiseof heartwill receivecommands,But a babblingfoolwill be ruined.
He who winkshis eyes[does so] to deviseperversethings;He who compresseshis lipsbringsevilto pass.
Deathand lifeare in the powerof the tongue,And those who loveit will eatits fruit.
Who winkswith his eyes,who signalswith his feet,Who pointswith his fingers;
For thisreason,ifI come,I will call attentionto his deedswhichhe does,unjustly accusingus with wickedwords;and not satisfiedwith this,he himselfdoes not receivethe brethren,either,and he forbidsthosewho desire[to do so] and puts[them] out of the church.
