6. Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children are their parents.

7. Arrogant speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.

8. A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers.

9. He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.

10. A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool.

11. An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

12. Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

13. Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
