8 But whoever possesses reason loves his own soul. And one who guards prudence shall discover good things.
9 A false witness shall not go unpunished. And whoever speaks lies will perish.
10 Fine things are not fitting for the foolish, nor is it fitting for a servant to rule over princes.
11 The doctrine of a man is known through patience. And his glory is to pass beyond iniquities.
12 Like the roaring of a lion, so also is the wrath of a king. And his cheerfulness is like the dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is the grief of his father. And an argumentative wife is like a roof that is continually leaking.
14 A house and its riches are given by parents. But a prudent wife is particularly from the Lord.
