9. A false witness will not go unpunished,and he who breathes out lies will perish.
10. It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury,much less for a slave to rule over princes.
11. Good sense makes one slow to anger,and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
12. A king’s wrath is like the growling of a lion,but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13. A foolish son is ruin to his father,and a wife’s quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.
14. House and wealth are inherited from fathers,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15. Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep,and an idle person will suffer hunger.
16. Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life;he who despises his ways will die.
