8. He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.
9. A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will perish.

18. Discipline your son while there is hope, And do not desire his death.
19. A man of great anger will bear the penalty, For if you rescue him, you will only have to do it again.

21. Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the Lord will stand.
22. What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor man than a liar.
23. The fear of the Lord leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
24. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
25. Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd, But reprove one who has understanding and he will gain knowledge.
26. He who assaults his father and drives his mother away Is a shameful and disgraceful son.
27. Cease listening, my son, to discipline, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28. A rascally witness makes a mockery of justice, And the mouth of the wicked spreads iniquity.
29. Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And blows for the back of fools.
