23An understanding man is a throne of wisdom; but the heart of fools shall meet with curses.
24The hand of chosen men shall easily obtain rule; but the deceitful shall be for a prey.
25A terrible word troubles the heart of a righteous man; but a good message rejoices him.
26A just arbitrator shall be his own friend; but mischief shall pursue sinners; and the way of ungodly men shall lead them astray.
27A deceitful man shall catch no game; but a blameless man is a precious possession.
