5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the perverse, but one who guards his soul stays far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not turn from it.
7 The rich rule over the poor, the borrower is a slave to the lender.
8 One who sows injustice will reap trouble, and the rod of his fury will perish.
9 One with a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
10 Throw out a scoffer and strife will go out, quarreling and disgrace will cease.
11 One who loves purity of heart and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend.
