(Spreuke 13:9-16)

9. Die lig van die regverdige brand vrolik, maar die lamp van die goddelose gaan dood.

11. Goed wat uit niks verkry is, word minder; maar hy wat met die hand bymekaar maak, kry altyd meer. 

12. 'n Uitgestelde hoop maak die hart siek; maar 'n wens waf uitkom is soos 'n lewensboom.

15. 'n Goeie verstand verskaf guns, maar die weg van die ontroues is hard.
