21. The palate tasteth venison and the wise heart false speeches.
22. A perverse heart will cause grief, and a man of experience will resist it.
23. A woman will receive every man: yet one daughter is better than another.
24. The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance of her husband, and a man desireth nothing more.
25. If she have a tongue that can cure, and likewise mitigate and shew mercy: her husband is not like other men.
26. He that possesseth a good wife, beginneth a possession: she is a help like to himself, and a pillar of rest.
27. Where there is no hedge, the possession shall be spoiled: and where there is no wife, he mourneth that is in want.
28. Who will trust him that hath no rest, and that lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him, as a robber well appointed, that skippeth from city to city.
