More quotes by Ahiqar

O my boy! he who doeth good shall meet with good; and he who doeth evil shall meet with evil, for the Lord requiteth a man according to the measure of his work.

He who digs a pit for his brother shall fall into it; and he who sets up traps shall be caught in them.

O my boy! thou hast been to me like a man who took a stone, and threw it up to heaven to stone his Lord with it. And the stone did not hit, and did not reach high enough, but it became the cause of guilt and sin.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
