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!

11 La cordura del hombre detiene su furor; y su honra es disimular la ofensa.
