- A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed--without remedy.
- When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.
- A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
- By justice a king gives a country stability, but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down.
- Whoever flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his feet.

- An evil man is snared by his own sin, but a righteous one can sing and be glad.
- The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.
- Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.
- If a wise man goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
