5. He who mocks the poor taunts his Maker; He who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.
6. Grandchildren are the crown of old men, And the glory of sons is their fathers.
7. Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince.
8. A bribe is a charm in the sight of its owner; Wherever he turns, he prospers.
9. He who conceals a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends.
