12
There is one that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.
13
A wise man by his words maketh him beloved, but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
14
The gift of a fool shall do thee no good when thou hast it, neither yet of the envious for his necessity; for he looketh to receive many things for one.
15
He giveth little, and upbraideth much; he openeth his mouth like a crier. Today he lendeth, and tomorrow will he ask it back; such a one is to be hated by God and man.
16
The fool saith, "I have no friends, I have no thanks for all my good deeds, and they that eat my bread speak evil of me."
17
How oft, and by how many shall he be laughed to scorn! For he knoweth not aright what it is to have, and it is all one unto him as if he had it not.
18
To slip upon a pavement is better than to slip with the tongue; so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.
19
An unseasonable tale will always be in the mouth of the unwise.
20
A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of a fool's mouth, for he will not speak it in due season.
21
There is one that is hindered from sinning through want, and when he taketh rest he shall not be troubled.
22
There is one that destroyeth his own soul through bashfulness, and by accepting of persons overthroweth himself.
