11Son, be wise, that thy heart may rejoice; and remove thou from thyself reproachful words.
12A wise man, when evils are approaching, hides himself; but fools pass on, and will be punished.
13Take away the man's garment, (for a scorner has passed by) whoever lays waste another's goods.
14Whosoever shall bless a friend in the morning with a loud voice, shall seem to differ nothing from one who curses him.
15On a stormy day drops of rain drive a man out of his house; so also does a railing woman drive a man out of his own house.
16The north wind is sharp, but it is called by name propitious.
17Iron sharpens iron; and a man sharpens his friend's countenance.
18He that plants a fig-tree shall eat the fruits of it: so he that waits on his own master shall be honoured.
19As faces are not like other faces, so neither are the thoughts of men.
20Hell and destruction are not filled; so also are the eyes of men insatiable.
20aHe that fixes his eye is an abomination to the Lord; and the uninstructed do not restrain their tongue.
21Fire is the trial for silver and gold; and a man is tried by the mouth of them that praise him.
21aThe heart of the transgressor seeks after mischiefs; but an upright heart seeks knowledge.
22Though thou scourge a fool, disgracing him in the midst of the council, thou wilt still in no wise remove his folly from him.
23Do thou thoroughly know the number of thy flock, and pay attention to thine herds.
