Folly is a joy to one who lacks sense, but one who has understanding follows an upright course.

A violent person entices his neighbor, and leads him down a path that is terrible.

Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his speech and is a fool.

then, my child, do this in order to deliver yourself, because you have fallen into your neighbor’s power: go, humble yourself, and appeal firmly to your neighbor.
