"You tell one thing but he may hear another."

"You will be drowned by two things: plenty of water and plenty of enemies."

"You will not remain (on earth) let a good memory of you remain."

"You will never get rid of what you were born with (it will not roam from you)."

"Your nasty tongue will deprive you of peace, but will not help you in enmity."

"Your woman should be in the house or in the grave."

"Your tongue steals what hides your soul (stomach)."

"Your previous lie damages your present truth."
