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.
13 The foolish son is ruin to his father,and a quarrelsome wife is water constantly dripping.
14 Home and possessions are an inheritance from parents,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
