18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.
19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who 1makes his door high seeks destruction.
20 2A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.
21 He who 3sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.
22 4A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit 5dries up the bones.
23 The wicked accepts 6a bribe in secreta to 7pervert the ways of justice.
24 8The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
25 9A foolish son is a grief to his father 10and bitterness to 11her who bore him.
26 12To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
27 Whoever 13restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
28 Even a fool 14who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
