5 ^aHe who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker;
^bHe who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished. ‡

6 ^aChildren’s children are the crown of old men,
And the glory of children is their father. ‡

8 A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.

9 ^aHe who covers a transgression seeks love,
But ^bhe who repeats a matter separates friends. ‡
