8. The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall.
9. He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
10. He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall.
11. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
12. Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.
13. In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14. Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.
15. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
