1. The man who, with a stiff neck, treats the one who corrects him with contempt will be suddenly overwhelmed to his own destruction, and reason shall not follow him.
2. When just men are multiplied, the common people shall rejoice. When the impious take up the leadership, the people shall mourn.
3. The man who loves wisdom rejoices his father. But whoever nurtures promiscuous women will lose his substance.
4. A just king guides the land. A man of avarice will destroy it.
