8. As a bag of gems in a stoneheap, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

9. As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

10. A master roughly worketh every one: he both hireth the fool and hireth passers-by.

11. As a dog turneth back to its vomit, so a fool repeateth his folly.

12. Hast thou seen a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

13. The sluggard saith, There is a fierce lion in the way; a lion is in the midst of the streets!
