18 Where there is no vision, the people are let loose, But blessed is he who guards the Torah.
19 A servant is not disciplined by words; Though he understands, he does not respond.
20 Have you seen a man hasty in his words? There is more expectancy for a fool than for him.
21 He who deals tenderly With his servant from youth, Has him as a son in the end.
22 A man of displeasure stirs up strife, And a master of rage has many a transgression.
23 The pride of man brings him low, But the humble in spirit obtains esteem.
24 He who shares with a thief hates his own life; He hears an oath, but does not report.
