7 Poor people’s relatives avoid them;even their friends stay far away.They run after them, begging,but they are gone.
8 Those who get wisdom do themselves a favor,and those who love learning will succeed.
9 A witness who lies will not go free,liars will die.
10 A fool should not live in luxury.A slave should not rule over princes.
11 The wise are patient;they will be honored if they ignore insults.
12 An angry king is like a roaring lion,but his kindness is like the dew on the grass.
13 A foolish child brings disaster to a father,and a quarreling wife is like dripping water.
