14. Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth; But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15. He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; But he that hateth suretyship is secure.
16. A gracious woman obtaineth honor; And violent men obtain riches.
17. The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18. The wicked earneth deceitful wages; But he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
