8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare, but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether he rages or laughs, there is no rest.
10 The bloodthirsty hate the perfect, but the just seek his soul.
11 The fool gives full rein to his spirit, but the wise man in the end will bring it into rest.
12 Of the ruler who hearkens unto the lying word, all his ministers are evil.
13 The poor and the usurer meet together; the Lord lightens both their eyes.
14 The king that judges the poor with truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
