3 Whoever loves wisdom makes his father happy.But the one who makes friends with prostitutes wastes his money.
4 If a king is fair, he makes his country strong.But if he takes money dishonestly, he tears his country down.
5 Anyone who gives false praise to his neighboris setting a trap for him.
6 An evil person is trapped by his own sin.But a good person can sing and be happy.
7 Good people are concerned that the poor are treated fairly.But the wicked don’t care.
8 People who make fun of others cause trouble in a city.But wise people calm anger down.
9 A wise man should not take a foolish person to court.The fool will only shout or laugh at him. There will be no peace.
