10When things go well for the upright man, all the town is glad; at the death of sinners, there are cries of joy.
11By the blessing of the upright man the town is made great, but it is overturned by the mouth of the evil-doer.
12He who has a poor opinion of his neighbour has no sense, but a wise man keeps quiet.
13He who goes about talking of others makes secrets public, but the true-hearted man keeps things covered.
14When there is no helping suggestion the people will have a fall, but with a number of wise guides they will be safe.
15He who makes himself responsible for a strange man will undergo much loss; but the hater of such undertakings will be safe.
16A woman who is full of grace is honoured, but a woman hating righteousness is a seat of shame: those hating work will undergo loss, but the strong keep their wealth.
