21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

22. Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

23. The poor useth entreaties: but the rich answereth roughly.

24. He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction: but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
