15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.

16. A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.

17. He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.

18. There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.

19. Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.
