12 The prudent see danger and take refuge,but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
13 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.
14 If anyone loudly blesses their neighbour early in the morning,it will be taken as a curse.
15 A quarrelsome wife is like the drippingof a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16 restraining her is like restraining the windor grasping oil with the hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,so one person sharpens another.
18 The one who guards a fig-tree will eat its fruit,and whoever protects their master will be honoured.
