11 Mon fils, sois sage, et réjouis mon cœur, Et je pourrai répondre à celui qui m’outrage.

12 L’homme prudent voit le mal et se cache; Les simples avancent et sont punis.

13 Prends son vêtement, car il a cautionné autrui; Exige de lui des gages, à cause des étrangers.

14 Si l’on bénit son prochain à haute voix et de grand matin, Cela est envisagé comme une malédiction.

15 Une gouttière continue dans un jour de pluie Et une femme querelleuse sont choses semblables.
