12 La haine excite des querelles, Mais l’amour couvre toutes les fautes.
13 Sur les lèvres de l’homme intelligent se trouve la sagesse, Mais la verge est pour le dos de celui qui est dépourvu de sens.
14 Les sages tiennent la science en réserve, Mais la bouche de l’insensé est une ruine prochaine.
15 La fortune est pour le riche une ville forte; La ruine des misérables, c’est leur pauvreté.
16 L’œuvre du juste est pour la vie, Le gain du méchant est pour le péché.
