10. When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices. And when the wrong perish, there is shouting.
11. By the blessing of the straight the city is exalted, But by the mouth of the wrong it is overthrown.
12. He who lacks heart despises his neighbour, But a man of understanding keeps silence.
13. A slanderer is a revealer of secrets, But one with a trustworthy spirit conceals a matter.
14. Without guidance the people fall, But in a great counsellor there is safety.
15. He who is guarantor for a stranger suffers harm, But one who hates shaking hands in pledge is safe.
