9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and whoever 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 longsuffering; 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.
13A foolish son is a disgrace to his father: vows paid out of the hire of a harlot are not pure.
14Fathers divide house and substance to their children: but a wife is suited to a man by the Lord.
15Cowardice possesses the effeminate man; and the soul of the sluggard shall hunger.
16He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall perish.
