18. The childish shall possess folly, and the prudent, shall look for knowledge.
19. The evil shall fall down before the good: and the wicked before the gates of the just.
20. The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many.
21. He that despiseth his neighbour, sinneth: but he that sheweth mercy to the poor, shall be blessed. He that believeth in the Lord, loveth mercy.
22. They err that work evil: but mercy and truth prepare good things.
23. In much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is oftentimes want.
24. The crown of the wise is their riches: the folly of fools, imprudence.
25. A faithful witness delivereth souls: and the double dealer uttereth lies.
26. In the fear of the Lord is confidence of strength, and there shall be hope for his children.
