28 El perverso provoca contiendas,y el chismoso divide a los buenos amigos.

29 El violento engaña a su prójimoy lo lleva por mal camino.

30 El que guiña el ojo trama algo perverso;el que aprieta los labios ya lo ha cometido.

31 Las canas son una honrosa coronaque se obtiene en el camino de la justicia.

32 Más vale ser paciente que valiente;más vale el dominio propio que conquistar ciudades.

33 Las suertes se echan sobre la mesa,^[b]pero el veredicto proviene del SEÑOR.
