13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be answered.
14A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath.
15To do justly is joy to the righteous, but ruin to the workers of iniquity.
16The man that strayeth out of the way of understanding shall rest in the congregation of the shades.
17He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; and the faithless cometh in the stead of the upright.
