| | 13 | Even in laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in grief. | |
| | 14 | The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good man rewarded for his. | |
| | 15 | A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps. | |

| | 17 | A quick-tempered man does foolish things, and a crafty man is hated. | |
| | 18 | The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. | |
| | 19 | Evil men will bow down in the presence of the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. | |
| | 20 | The poor are shunned even by their neighbors, but the rich have many friends. | |

| | 23 | All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. | |
| | 24 | The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the folly of fools yields folly. | |

| | 34 | Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. | |
| | 35 | A king delights in a wise servant, but a shameful servant incurs his wrath. | |
