23. There is that for bashfulness promises to his friend; And he makes him his enemy for nothing.
24. A lie is a foul blot in a man: It will be continually in the mouth of the ignorant.
25. A thief is better than a man that is continually lying: But they both shall inherit destruction.
26. The disposition of a liar is dishonor; And his shame is with him continually.
27. He that is wise in words shall advance himself; And one that is prudent will please great men.
