15. Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit.
16. The prudent mall doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly.
17. The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
18. Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof, shall be glorified.
19. The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things.
20. He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall become like to them.
