8. He who sows wickedness reaps trouble,and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

9. He who has a generous eye will be blessed;for he shares his food with the poor.

10. Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out;yes, quarrels and insults will stop.

11. He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefullyis the king’s friend.

12. the Lord’s eyes watch over knowledge;but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.

13. The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside!I will be killed in the streets!”

14. The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit.He who is under the Lord’s wrath will fall into it.

15. Folly is bound up in the heart of a child:the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
