12 It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubsthan to meet a fool doing foolish things.
13 Whoever gives evil in return for goodwill always have trouble at home.
14 Starting a quarrel is like a leak in a dam,so stop it before a fight breaks out.
15 The Lord hates both of these things:freeing the guilty and punishing the innocent.
16 It won’t do a fool any good to try to buy wisdom,because he doesn’t have the ability to be wise.
17 A friend loves you all the time,and a brother helps in time of trouble.
18 It is not wise to promiseto pay what your neighbor owes.
