7. All the brothers of the poor shall hate him; How much more shall his friends go far from him! He pursues promises – they are gone!.
8. He who gets heart loves his own life; He who guards understanding finds good.
9. A false witness does not go unpunished, And he who breathes out lies perishes.
10. Luxury is not fitting for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule over princes.
11. A man’s discretion makes him patient, And his adorning is to pass over a transgression.
12. The sovereign’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his delight is like dew on the grass.
