9 He who walks in simplicity walks in confidence. But he who corrupts his ways shall be discovered.
10 He who winks with the eye gives sorrow. And the foolish in lips shall be beaten.
11 The mouth of the just is a vein of life. And the mouth of the impious covers iniquity.
12 Hatred rises up from disputes. And charity covers all offenses.
13 In the lips of the wise, wisdom is discovered. And a rod is for the back of one who lacks heart.
14 The wise store away knowledge. But the mouth of the foolish is a neighbor to confusion.
15 The substance of the rich is the city of his strength. The fear of the poor is their destitution.
