17 Le pain du mensonge est doux à l’homme, Et plus tard sa bouche est remplie de gravier.
18 Les projets s’affermissent par le conseil; Fais la guerre avec prudence.
19 Celui qui répand la calomnie dévoile les secrets; Ne te mêle pas avec celui qui ouvre ses lèvres.
20 Si quelqu’un maudit son père et sa mère, Sa lampe s’éteindra au milieu des ténèbres.
21 Un héritage promptement acquis dès l’origine Ne sera pas béni quand viendra la fin.
