13 Whosoever despises the word shall perish by it: but he that fears the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding brings forth grace: but the way of transgressors is hard.
16 Every sane man works according to wisdom: but the fool shall manifest his folly.
17 A bad messenger shall fall into evil: but a faithful ambassador is medicine.
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses chastening: but he that regards reproof shall be honoured.
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
