28
The manners of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with them without ceasing.
29
A wise man shall advance himself with his words, and a prudent man shall please the great ones.
30
He that tilleth his land shall make a high heap of corn: and he that worketh justice shall be exalted: and he that pleaseth great men shall escape iniquity.
31
Presents and gifts blind the eyes of judges, and make them dumb in the mouth, so that they cannot correct.
32
Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is not seen: what profit is there in them both?
33
Better is he that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth his wisdom.
