21 Com certeza o mal não será absolvido; mas a semente dos justos escapará livre.

22 A mulher bela mas sem discrição é como uma joia no focinho de uma porca.

23 O desejo dos justos é somente para o bem; mas a esperança dos perversos é a fúria.

24 Há quem dá generosamente e tem cada vez mais; e há quem retém mais do que é justo e empobrece.

25 A alma generosa prosperará, e aquele que saciar também será saciado.
