8 Men full of pestilence destroy a city; but wise men turn away strong vengeance.
9 If a wise man striveth with a fool, whether he be wroth, or laugh, he shall not find rest.
10 Men-quellers hate a simple man; but just men seek his soul. (Murderers hate honest people; but the righteous seek them out.)
11 A fool bringeth forth all his spirit; a wise man delayeth, and reserveth into (the) time (to) coming afterward.
12 A prince that heareth willfully the words of leasing, shall have all his servants unfaithful. (A ruler who willingly listeneth to lies, shall have servants who all be unfaithful./If a ruler willingly listeneth to lies, then all of his servants shall be unfaithful.)
13 A poor man and a lender met themselves; the Lord is the lightener of ever either. (A poor person and a lender met together; the Lord lighteneth the burdens of both of them.)
