5 When you mock the poor you disgrace your Maker. He who is glad at calamity will be punished.
14 Starting a quarrel is like releasing water [from a floodgate]. Therefore stop contention before it begins.
20 He who has a deceitful heart finds no good. He who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.
21 He who gives birth to a fool does it to his sorrow because the father of a fool has no joy.
24 Wisdom is near the one who understands. But the eyes of a fool are far away at the ends of the earth.
26 It is not good to punish the righteous. It is not good to strike princes because of their uprightness.
