10If the iron be blunt, and be not as before, but be made blunt, with much labour it shall be sharpened: and after industry shall follow wisdom.
11If a serpent bite in silence, he is nothing better that backbiteth secretly.
12The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.
13The beginning of his words is folly, and the end of his talk is a mischievous error.
14A fool multiplieth words. A man cannot tell what hath been before him: and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
15The labour of fools shall afflict them that know not bow to go to the city.
