14Where no counsel is, the people fall: But in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.
15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: And he that hateth suretiship is sure.
16A gracious woman retaineth honour: And strong men retain riches.
17The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
18The wicked worketh a deceitful work: But to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
19As righteousness tendeth to life: So he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
20They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord: But such as are upright in their way are his delight.
21Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

23The desire of the righteous is only good: But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
