4Where there are no oxen, their food-place is clean; but much increase comes through the strength of the ox.
5A true witness does not say what is false, but a false witness is breathing out deceit.
6The hater of authority, searching for wisdom, does not get it; but knowledge comes readily to the open-minded man.
7Go away from the foolish man, for you will not see the lips of knowledge.
8The wisdom of the man of good sense makes his way clear; but the unwise behaviour of the foolish is deceit.
9In the tents of those hating authority there is error, but in the house of the upright man there is grace.
10No one has knowledge of a man's grief but himself; and a strange person has no part in his joy.
11The house of the sinner will be overturned, but the tent of the upright man will do well.
12There is a way which seems straight before a man, but its end is the ways of death.
13Even while laughing the heart may be sad; and after joy comes sorrow.
