20:017:005 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is
glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
20:017:006 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of
children are their fathers.
20:017:007 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips

20:017:008 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it:

in his folly.
20:017:013 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his
house.
20:017:014 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water:
therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
