3In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them.
4Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest.
5A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie.
6A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy.
7Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence.
