26. A lie is a foul blot in a man, and yet it will be continually in the mouth of men without discipline.
27. A thief is better than a man that is always lying: but both of them shall inherit destruction.
28. The manners of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with them without ceasing.
29. A wise man shall advance himself with his words, and a prudent man shall please the great ones.
30. He that tilleth his land shall make a high heap of corn: and he that worketh justice shall be exalted: and he that pleaseth great men shall escape iniquity.
