13 Até no riso o coração terá dor, e o fim da alegria é a tristeza.

14 Quem se desvia de coração será cheio de seus próprios caminhos, porém o homem de bem [será recompensado] pelos seus.

15 O ingênuo crê em toda palavra, mas o prudente pensa cuidadosamente sobre seus passos.

16 O sábio teme, e se afasta do mal; porém o tolo se precipita e se acha seguro.

17 Quem se ira rapidamente faz loucuras, e o homem de maus pensamentos será odiado.
