11 Punish a person who makes fun of wisdom, and he will become wise.But just teach a wise person, and he will get knowledge.
12 God, who is always right, sees the house of the wicked.And he brings about the ruin of every evil person.
13 If you ignore the poor when they cry for help,you also will cry for help and not be answered.
14 A gift given secretly will calm an angry man.A present given in secrecy will calm even great anger.
15 When things are done fairly, good people are happy,but evil people are frightened.
16 A person who does not use understandingwill join the dead.
17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor.Whoever loves wine and rich food will never be wealthy.
