11 He that loves pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthrows the words of the transgressor.
13 The slothful man says, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit; he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16 He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches and who gives to the rich shall surely come to want.
17 Bow down thine ear and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my wisdom.
