6 Many seek the favor of the prince, and everyone is a friend of the gift giver.
7 All the brothers of a poor man hate him— how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.
8 He who acquires wisdom loves himself; one who safeguards understanding will find success.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.
10 Luxury is unseemly for a fool— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
11 A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
