10 El alma del impío desea mal: su prójimo no le parece bien.

11 Cuando el escarnecedor es castigado, el simple se hace sabio; y cuando se amonestare al sabio, aprenderá ciencia.

12 Considera el justo la casa del impío: [cómo] los impíos son trastornados por el mal.

13 El que cierra su oído al clamor del pobre, también él clamará, y no será oído.

14 El presente en secreto amansa el furor, y el don en el seno, la fuerte ira.
