6. Many entreat the favor of the nobility,And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.
7. All the brothers of the poor hate him;How much more do his friends go far from him!He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him.
8. He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;He who keeps understanding will find good.
9. A false witness will not go unpunished,And he who speaks lies shall perish.
10. Luxury is not fitting for a fool,Much less for a servant to rule over princes.
11. The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,And his glory is to overlook a transgression.
