23. Whoever corrects a man, afterward he shall find favor with him, more so than he who deceives him with a flattering tongue.
24. Whoever takes away anything from his father or mother, and who says, "This is not a sin," is the associate of a murderer.
25. Whoever boasts and enlarges himself stirs up conflicts. Yet truly, whoever trusts in the Lord will be healed.
26. Whoever trusts in his own heart is a fool. But whoever treads wisely, the same shall be saved.
27. Whoever gives to the poor shall not be in need. Whoever despises his petition will suffer scarcity.
28. When the impious rise up, men will hide themselves. When they perish, the just shall be multiplied.
