25. There is a wise man that is wise to his own soul: and the fruit of his understanding is commendable.
26. A wise man instructeth his own people, and the fruits of his understanding are faithful.
27. A wise man shall be filled with blessings, and they that see shall praise him.
28. The life of a man is in the number of his days: but the days of Israel are innumerable.
29. A wise man shall inherit honour among his people, and his name shall live for ever.
30. My son, prove thy soul in thy life: and if it be wicked, give it no power:
31. For all things are not expedient for all, and every kind pleaseth not every soul.
32. Be not greedy in any feasting, and pour not out thyself upon any meat:
33. For in many meats there will be sickness, and greediness will turn to choler.
34. By surfeiting many have perished: but he that is temperate, shall prolong life.
