4. If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding allayeth great offences.

6. folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.

7. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

8. He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a fence, a serpent shall bite him.
