20:24 A lie is a foul blot in a man, yet it is continually in the mouth of the untaught.
20:25 A thief is better than a man that is accustomed to lie: but they both shall have destruction to heritage.
20:26 The disposition of a liar is dishonourable, and his shame is ever with him.
20:27 A wise man shall promote himself to honour with his words: and he that hath understanding will please great men.
20:28 He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap: and he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity.
20:29 Presents and gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and stop up his mouth that he cannot reprove.
20:30 Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is hoarded up, what profit is in them both?
20:31 Better is he that hideth his folly than a man that hideth his wisdom.
20:32 Necessary patience in seeking the Lord is better than he that leadeth his life without a guide.
21:1 My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for thy former sins.
