5He that despiseth a poor man, reproveth his maker; and he that is glad in the falling of another man, shall not be unpunished.
6The crown of eld or old men is the sons of sons; and the glory of sons is the fathers of them.
7Words well-set together beseem not a fool; and a lying lip becometh not a prince.
8A precious stone most acceptable is the abiding of him that seeketh; whither ever he turneth himself, he understandeth prudently.
9He that covereth trespass, seeketh friendships; he that rehearseth by an high word, separateth them that be knit together in peace.
10A blaming profiteth more at a prudent man, than an hundred wounds at a fool.
11Ever an evil man seeketh strives; forsooth a cruel angel shall be sent against him.
12It speedeth more to meet a female bear, when her whelps be ravished, than a fool trusting to himself in his folly.
13Evil shall not go away from the house of him, that yieldeth evils for goods.
14He that letteth out water, is the head of strives; and before that he suffereth wrong, he forsaketh doom.
