13. Whoso is despising the Word is destroyed for it, And whoso is fearing the Command is repayed.
14. The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.
15. Good understanding giveth grace, And the way of the treacherous [is] hard.
16. Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool spreadeth out folly.
17. A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing.
