2The threat of a king differs not from the rage of a lion; and he that provokes him sins against his own soul.
3It is a glory to a man to turn aside from railing; but every fool is entangled with such matters.
4A sluggard when reproached is not ashamed: so also he who borrows corn in harvest.
5Counsel in a man's heart is deep water; but a prudent man will draw it out.
6A man is valuable, and a merciful man precious: but it is hard to find a faithful man.
7He that walks blameless in justice, shall leave his children blessed.
