7 Todos os irmãos do pobre o odeiam; ainda mais seus amigos se afastam dele; ele corre atrás deles com palavras, mas eles nada lhe [respondem] .

8 Quem adquire entendimento ama sua alma; quem guarda a prudência encontrará o bem.

9 A falsa testemunha não ficará impune; e quem fala mentiras perecerá.
