11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,so that I may answer anyone who taunts me.
12 A shrewd person sees danger and hides himself,but the naive keep right on going and suffer for it.
13 Take a man’s garment when he has given security for a stranger,and when he gives surety for a stranger, hold him in pledge.
14 If someone blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,it will be counted as a curse to him.
15 A continual dripping on a rainy dayand a contentious wife are alike.
16 Whoever hides her hides the windor grasps oil with his right hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,so a person sharpens his friend.
