7 All the relatives of a poor person hate him;how much more do his friends avoid him – he pursues them with words, but they do not respond.
8 The one who acquires wisdom loves himself;the one who preserves understanding will prosper.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,and the one who spouts out lies will perish.
10 Luxury is not appropriate for a fool;how much less for a servant to rule over princes!
11 A person’s wisdom makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
12 A king’s wrath is like the roar of a lion,but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish child is the ruin of his father,and a contentious wife is like a constant dripping.
