13Whoso answers a word before he hears a cause, it is folly and reproach to him.
14A wise servant calms a man's anger; but who can endure a faint-hearted man?
15The heart of the sensible man purchases discretion; and the ears of the wise seek understanding.
16A man's gift enlarges him, and seats him among princes.
