6 The crown of the elderly are grandchildren, and the glory of children is their fathers.
7 Fine speech is not becoming a fool, still less is false speech for a ruler.
8 The bribe is a stone of magic in the eyes of its owner; everywhere he will turn, he will prosper.
9 He who forgives an affront fosters love, but he who waits on a matter will alienate a friend.
10 A rebuke strikes him who understands deeper than one hundred blows to a fool.
11 An evil person will seek only rebellion, and a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 May a man meet a she-bear robbed of offspring and not a fool in his folly.
