8He who gets wisdom loves his own life; he who keeps understanding will find what is good.
9A false witness will not go unpunished, but the one who breathes out lies will perish.
10It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury— much less for a slave to rule over princes.
11Discretion makes a person slow to anger and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
12The wrath of the king is like the roaring of a young lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
