7 Fine speech is not ¹becoming to a fool; still less is ²false speech to a prince.

8 ³A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.

9 Whoever ⁴covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter ⁵separates close friends.

10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion, and ⁶a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 Let a man meet ⁷a she-bear robbed of her cubs ⁸rather than a fool in his folly.

13 If anyone ⁹returns evil for good, ¹⁰evil will not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so ¹¹quit before the quarrel breaks out.

15 He who ¹²justifies the wicked and he who ¹³condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.

16 Why should a fool have money in his hand ¹⁴to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

17 ¹⁵A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
