14. The beginning of quarrels is as when one letteth out water: before he suffereth reproach he forsaketh judgment.
15. He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God.
16. What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils.
17. He that is a friend loveth at all times: and a brother is proved in distress.
18. A foolish man will clap hands, when he is surety for his friend.
