In context
6 Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
7 The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
8 But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence, shall find good things.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
10 Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The learning of a man is known by patience: and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
12 As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
