10. Throw out a scoffer and strife will go out, quarreling and disgrace will cease.

11. One who loves purity of heart and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend.

12. The eyes of Adonai guard knowledge, but He undermines the words of the faithless.

13. The slacker says, “There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the streets.”

14. The mouth of a seducing woman is a deep pit—into it will fall one with whom Adonai is angry.
