7 Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less lying lips for a noble.
8 A bribe is a stone of favour in the eyes of its owner; Wherever he turns, he prospers.
9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends.
10 Reproof enters deeper into a wise man Than a hundred blows on a fool.
11 An evil one seeks only rebellion, So a cruel messenger is sent against him.
12 Let a bereaved bear meet a man, Rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Whoever rewards evil for good, Evil does not leave his house.
