6 Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that gives gifts.
7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues them with words, yet they are nothing to him.
8 He that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.
10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man delays his anger; and it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
12 The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.
