10 Remove the mocker and conflict disappears;judgment and shame also stop.
11 Those who love a pure heart—their speech is gracious, and the king is their friend.
12 The Lord’s eyes protect knowledge,but he frustrates the words of the treacherous.
13 A lazy person says, "There’s a lion in the street!I’ll be killed in the town square!"
14 The mouth of a mysterious woman is a deep pit;those under the Lord’s wrath will fall in it.
15 Folly is bound up in a child’s heart;the rod of discipline removes it.
16 Oppressing the poor to get richand giving to the wealthy lead only to poverty.
