8He that procures wisdom loves himself; And he that keeps wisdom shall find good.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; And whosoever shall kindle mischief shall perish by it.
10Delight does not suit a fool, Nor is it seemly if a servant should begin to rule with haughtiness.
11A merciful man is long-suffering; And his triumph overtakes transgressors.
12The threatening of a king is like the roaring of a lion; But as dew on the grass, so is his favor.
