9 He that has a merciful eye shall be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the destitute.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; strife and reproach shall cease.
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.
