12. The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made them both.

13. Love not sleep, lest poverty oppress thee: open thy eyes, and be filled with bread.

14. It is nought, it is nought, saith every buyer: and when he is gone away, then he will boast.

15. There is gold, and a multitude of jewels: but the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.

16. Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.

17. The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

18. Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.
