6 Many curry favor with a noble;everybody is a friend of a gift giver.
7 All the kin of the poor despise them;how much more do their friends shun them!
8 Those who gain sense truly love themselves;those who preserve understanding will find success.
9 The false witness will not go unpunished,and whoever utters lies will perish.
10 Luxury is not befitting a fool;much less should a slave rule over princes.
11 It is good sense to be slow to anger,and an honor to overlook an offense.
12 The king’s wrath is like the roar of a lion,but his favor, like dew on the grass.
