Happy is the one who finds a friend, and the one who speaks to attentive listeners.
10
How great is the one who finds wisdom! But none is superior to the one who fears the Lord.
11
Fear of the Lord surpasses everything; to whom can we compare the one who has it?
13
Any wound, but not a wound of the heart! Any wickedness, but not the wickedness of a woman!
14
Any suffering, but not suffering from those who hate! And any vengeance, but not the vengeance of enemies!
15
There is no venom worse than a snake's venom, and no anger worse than a woman's wrath.
16
I would rather live with a lion and a dragon than live with an evil woman.
17
A woman's wickedness changes her appearance, and darkens her face like that of a bear.
18
Her husband sits among the neighbors, and he cannot help sighing bitterly.
19
Any iniquity is small compared to a woman's iniquity; may a sinner's lot befall her!
