7 All the brethren of the poor hate him; how much more shall his friends separate themselves from him? He shall seek their friendship and not find it.
8 He that gets wisdom loves his own soul; he keeps intelligence that he might find that which is good.
9 The false witness shall not go unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.
10 Delight is not suitable for a fool; much less for a slave to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man defers his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion, but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is a pain unto his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
