29. A man of violence enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him in a way that is not good.

30. He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise froward things: he that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.

31. The hoary head is a crown of glory, it shall be found in the way of righteousness.

32. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

33. The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
