¹⁴The one who is not faithful will get what his ways deserve, but a good person will get what is his.

¹⁵The one who is naive believes everything, but the prudent man thinks about his steps.

¹⁶A wise man fears and turns away from evil, but the fool confidently dismisses a warning.

¹⁷One who is quick to become angry does foolish things, and a person who makes evil schemes is hated.

¹⁸The naive inherit foolishness, but prudent people are crowned with knowledge.

¹⁹Evil people will bow down before those who are good and those who are wicked will bow down at the gates of the righteous person.

²⁰The poor person is hated even by his own companions, but the rich people have many friends.

²¹The one who shows contempt for his neighbor is sinning, but the one who shows favor to the poor is blessed.

²²Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan to do good will receive covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness.
