6 Muchos rogarán al príncipe: mas cada uno es amigo del hombre que da.
7 Todos los hermanos del pobre le aborrecen: ¡cuánto más sus amigos se alejarán de él! buscará la palabra y no la hallará.
8 El que posee entendimiento, ama su alma: el que guarda la inteligencia, hallará el bien.
9 El testigo falso no quedará sin castigo; y el que habla mentiras, perecerá.
10 No conviene al necio el deleite: ¡cuánto menos al siervo ser señor de los príncipes!
