5. There is one that holdeth his peace, that is found wise: and there is another that is hateful, that is bold in speech.
6. There is one that holdeth his peace, because he knoweth not what to say: and there is another that holdeth his peace, knowing the proper time.
7. A wise man will hold his peace till he see opportunity: but a babbler, and a fool, will regard no time.
8. He that useth many words shall hurt his own soul: and he that taketh authority to himself unjustly shall be hated.
9. There is success in evil things to a man without discipline, and there is a finding that turneth to loss.
10. There is a gift that is not profitable: and there is a gift, the recompense of which is double.
11. There is an abasement because of glory: and there is one that shall lift up his head from a low estate.
12. There is that buyeth much for a small price, and restoreth the same sevenfold.
13. A man wise in words shall make himself beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
