¹¹If you cultivate the land you'll have plenty of food, but if you chase after worthless things you're stupid.

¹²Wicked people long for ill-gotten gains, but good people are productive themselves.

¹³The wicked trap themselves by their own sinful words, but good people escape trouble.

¹⁴What you say brings you rewards, and your work returns to bless you.

¹⁵Stupid people think they're on the right track, but if you're wise you listen to advice.

¹⁶Stupid people get angry immediately, but if you're sensible you ignore an insult.

¹⁷Whoever tells the truth is being honest, but a false witness tells lies.
