2 A wise servant will rule over an unworthy son,and will share the inheritance of the children.
3 The crucible for silver, and the furnace for gold,but the tester of hearts is the Lord.
4 The evildoer gives heed to wicked lips,the liar, to a mischievous tongue.
5 Whoever mocks the poor reviles their Maker;whoever rejoices in their misfortune will not go unpunished.
6 Children’s children are the crown of the elderly,and the glory of children is their parentage.
7 Fine words ill fit a fool;how much more lying lips, a noble!
8 A bribe seems a charm to its user;at every turn it brings success.
