9. A false witness will not go unpunished,and the one who spouts out lies will perish.
10. Luxury is not appropriate for a fool;how much less for a servant to rule over princes!
11. A person’s wisdom makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
12. A king’s wrath is like the roar of a lion,but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13. A foolish child is the ruin of his father,and a contentious wife is like a constant dripping.
14. A house and wealth are inherited from parents,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
