9 Whoever is generous will be blessedbecause he has shared his food with the poor.
10 Drive out a mocker, and conflict will leave.Quarreling and abuse will stop.
11 Whoever loves a pure heart and whoever speaks graciouslyhas a king as his friend.
12 The Lord’s eyes watch over knowledge,but he overturns the words of a treacherous person.
13 A lazy person says,“There’s a lion outside!I’ll be murdered in the streets!”
14 The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit.The one who is cursed by the Lord will fall into it.
15 Foolishness is firmly attached to a child’s heart.Spanking will remove it far from him.
