5
A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall not escape.
6
Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
7
The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
8
But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence, shall find good things.
9
A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
10
Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
11
The learning of a man is known by patience: and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
12
As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
13
A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
14
House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
15
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
