8 He who acquires wisdom loves himself; he who guards understanding loves to find good.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes lies will perish.
10 For a fool living in luxury is not fitting, any more than it is for a slave to rule over princes.
11 The understanding of a person makes him slow to his anger, and his glory overlooks offense.
12 The rage of a king growls like a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish child is a ruin to his father, and the quarreling of a woman is a continuous dripping.
14 A house and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, but from Yahweh comes a woman who is prudent.
