8. The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips.
9. He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest.
10. He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten.
11. The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity.
12. Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins.
13. In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense.
14. Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.
15. The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty.
