9 Aquele que desvia seus ouvidos de ouvir a lei, até sua oração [será] abominável.

10 Aquele que faz as pessoas corretas errarem em direção a um mau caminho, ele mesmo cairá em sua cova; mas os que não tiverem pecado herdarão o bem.

11 O homem rico é sábio aos seus [próprios] olhos; mas o pobre prudente o examina.
