9
happy is he who has gained good sense, and he who speaks to attentive listeners.
10
How great is he who has gained wisdom! But there is no one superior to him who fears the Lord.
11
The fear of the Lord surpasses everything; to whom shall be likened the one who holds it fast?
13
Any wound, but not a wound of the heart! Any wickedness, but not the wickedness of a wife!
