17 L’ami aime en tout temps, Et dans le malheur il se montre un frère.
18 L’homme dépourvu de sens prend des engagements, Il cautionne son prochain.
19 Celui qui aime les querelles aime le péché; Celui qui élève sa porte cherche la ruine.
20 Un cœur faux ne trouve pas le bonheur, Et celui dont la langue est perverse tombe dans le malheur.
21 Celui qui donne naissance à un insensé aura du chagrin; Le père d’un fou ne peut pas se réjouir.
