8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.He who keeps understanding shall find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished.He who utters lies shall perish.
10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.It is his glory to overlook an offense.
12 The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father.A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
