8. Guilty people walk a crooked path; the innocent do what is right.

9. Better to live on the roof than share the house with a nagging wife.

10. Wicked people are always hungry for evil; they have no mercy on anyone.

11. When someone who is conceited gets his punishment, even an unthinking person learns a lesson. One who is wise will learn from what he is taught.

13. If you refuse to listen to the cry of the poor, your own cry for help will not be heard.
