10. When it goeth well with the just the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish there shall be praise.
11. By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown.
12. He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold his peace.
13. He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.
14. Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.
15. He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.
