6. Blessings accrue on a good and honest life,but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.
7. A good and honest life is a blessed memorial;a wicked life leaves a rotten stench.
8. A wise heart takes orders;an empty head will come unglued.
9. Honesty lives confident and carefree,but Shifty is sure to be exposed.
10. An evasive eye is a sign of trouble ahead,but an open, face-to-face meeting results in peace.
