3. The proud speech of a fool brings a rod of discipline, but the lips of the wise protect them.

4. Where there are no oxen, the feeding trough is empty, but an abundant harvest comesthrough the strength of an ox.

5. An honest witness does not deceive,but a dishonest witness utters lies.

6. A mocker seeks wisdom and doesn’t find it,but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive.

7. Stay away from a foolish man;you will gain no knowledge from his speech.
