4 Where there are no oxen, the feeding trough is empty, but an abundant harvest comesthrough the strength of an ox.
5 An honest witness does not deceive,but a dishonest witness utters lies.
6 A mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it,but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.
7 Stay away from a foolish man;you will gain no knowledge from his speech.
8 The sensible man’s wisdom is to consider his way,but the stupidity of fools deceives them.
9 Fools mock at making restitution, but there is goodwill among the upright.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,and no outsider shares in its joy.
