11 An evil person seeks only rebellion,and so a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 It is better for a person to meet a mother bear being robbed of her cubs,than to encounter a fool in his folly.
13 As for the one who repays evil for good,evil will not leave his house.
14 Starting a quarrel is like letting out water;stop it before strife breaks out!
15 The one who acquits the guilty and the one who condemns the innocent – both of them are an abomination to the Lord.
16 Of what use is money in the hand of a fool,since he has no intention of acquiring wisdom?
17 A friend loves at all times,and a relative is born to help in adversity.
