- When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom; when a wise man is instructed, he gets knowledge.
- The Righteous One takes note of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.
- If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.
- A gift given in secret soothes anger, and a bribe concealed in the cloak pacifies great wrath.
- When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.

- When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
- The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
- Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
- A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
- It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
