15. When a king's face is happy, it means life. His favor is like rain in the spring.

16. It is much better to get wisdom than gold. It is much better to choose understanding than silver.

17. The path of honest people takes them away from evil. Those who guard their ways guard their lives.

18. If you are proud, you will be destroyed. If you are proud, you will fall.
