14 El ánimo del hombre soportará su enfermedad: mas ¿quién soportará al ánimo angustiado?
15 El corazón del entendido adquiere sabiduría; y el oído de los sabios busca la ciencia.
16 El presente del hombre le ensancha [el camino], y le lleva delante de los grandes.
17 El primero en su propia causa [parece] justo; y su adversario viene, y le sondea.
18 La suerte pone fin á los pleitos, y desparte los fuertes.
