7 The brothers of the poor man hate him. Moreover, even his friends have withdrawn far from him. Whoever pursues only words shall have nothing.
8 But whoever possesses reason loves his own soul. And one who guards prudence shall discover good things.
9 A false witness shall not go unpunished. And whoever speaks lies will perish.
10 Fine things are not fitting for the foolish, nor is it fitting for a servant to rule over princes.
11 The doctrine of a man is known through patience. And his glory is to pass beyond iniquities.
