9. He that is inclined to mercy shall be blessed: for of his bread he hath given to the poor. He that maketh presents shall purchase victory and honour: but he carrieth away the souls of the receivers.
10. Cast out the scoffer, and contention shall go out with him, and quarrels and reproaches shall cease.
11. He that loveth cleanness of heart, for the grace of his lips shall have the king for his friend.
12. The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge: and the words of the unjust are overthrown.
