12Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
13Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before there be quarrelling.
15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
16Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, seeing he hath no understanding?
17A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his neighbour.
19He loveth transgression that loveth strife: he that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
20He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
22A merry heart is a good medicine: but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
23A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom, to pervert the ways of judgment.
24Wisdom is before the face of him that hath understanding: but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
26Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to smite the noble for their uprightness.
