17 El que presto se enoja, hará locura: y el hombre malicioso será aborrecido.

18 Los simples heredarán necedad: mas los cuerdos se coronarán de sabiduría.

19 Los malos se inclinarán delante de los buenos, y los impíos á las puertas del justo.

20 El pobre es odioso aun á su amigo: pero muchos son los que aman al rico.

21 Peca el que menosprecia á su prójimo: mas el que tiene misericordia de los pobres, es bienaventurado.
