8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that uttereth lies shall perish.
10Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
