21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22. Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
23. The poor useth entreaties; But the rich answereth roughly.
24. He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction; But there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
