11 El rebelde no busca sino mal; y mensajero cruel será contra él enviado.

12 Mejor es se encuentre un hombre con una osa á la cual han robado sus cachorros, que con un fatuo en su necedad.

13 El que da mal por bien, no se apartará el mal de su casa.

14 El que comienza la pendencia es [como] quien suelta las aguas: deja pues la porfía, antes que se enmarañe.

15 El que justifica al impío, y el que condena al justo, ambos á dos son abominación á Jehová.
