¹⁷Bread gained by deceit tastes sweet, but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.

¹⁸Plans are established by advice and only with wise guidance should you wage war.

¹⁹A gossip reveals secrets and so you should not associate with people who talk too much.

²⁰If a person curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in the middle of darkness.

²¹An inheritance gained quickly at the beginning will do less good in the end.

²²Do not say, “I will pay you back for this wrong!” Wait for Yahweh and he will rescue you.

²³Yahweh hates unequal weights and dishonest scales are not good.
