18 When there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint, but as for he who guards instruction, happiness is his.
19 By words, a servant is not disciplined, for he will understand, but there is no giving heed.
20 You see a man who is hasty in his words: there is more hope for a fool than him.
21 He who pampers his servant from childhood, arrogance will be his end.
22 A man of anger will stir strife, and the owner of anger, much transgression.
23 The pride of a person will bring him humiliation, and the lowly of spirit will obtain honor.
24 Being a partner with a thief is hating one’s life; a curse he will hear, but not disclose.
