16
A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.
17
A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.
18
The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.
19
Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.
20
A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
21
Hand in hand the evil man shall not be innocent: but the seed of the just shall be saved.
22
A golden ring in a swine’s snout, a woman fair and foolish.
23
The desire of the just is all good, the expectation of the wicked is indignation.
24
Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.
25
The soul that blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself.
26
He that hideth up corn, shall be cursed among the people: but a blessing upon the head of them that sell.
