14. Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.
15. He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.
16. A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.
17. A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.
18. The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.
19. Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.
20. A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
21. Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.
