10 Get rid of the person who makes fun of wisdom.Then fighting, quarrels and insults will stop.
11 A person who loves innocent thoughts and kind wordswill have even the king as a friend.
12 The Lord protects knowledge from being lost.But he destroys false words.
13 The lazy person says, “There’s a lion outside!I might get killed out in the street!”
14 The words of an unfaithful wife are like a deep trap.Those who make the Lord angry will get caught by them.
15 Every child is full of foolishness.But punishment can get rid of it.
16 The one who gets rich by being cruel to the poor will become poor.And so will the one who gives presents to the wealthy.
