11
There is an abasement because of glory: and there is one that shall lift up his head from a low estate.
12
There is that buyeth much for a small price, and restoreth the same sevenfold.
13
A man wise in words shall make himself beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
14
The gift of the fool shall do thee no good: for his eyes are sevenfold.
15
He will give a few things, and upbraid much: and the opening of his mouth is the kindling of a fire.
16
To day a man lendeth, and to morrow he asketh it again: such a man as this is hateful.
17
A fool shall have no friend, and there shall be no thanks for his good deeds.
18
For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn!
19
For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had.
20
The slipping of a false tongue is as one that falleth on the pavement: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.
21
A man without grace is as a vain fable, it shall be continually in the mouth of the unwise.
