8
He that useth many words shall hurt his own soul: and he that taketh authority to himself unjustly shall be hated.
9
There is success in evil things to a man without discipline, and there is a finding that turneth to loss.
10
There is a gift that is not profitable: and there is a gift, the recompense of which is double.
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!
