¹³ He who returns a word before he will hear,
    folly itself belongs to him as well as^[a] shame.

² Also, a life^[a] without knowledge is not good,
    and he who moves quickly with his feet misses the mark.^[b]

⁵ The plans of the diligent only lead to abundance,
    but all who are hasty, only to want.

⁷ For it is better that he say to you, “Ascend here,”
    than he humble you before a noble.
What your eyes have seen,
⁸ do not hastily bring out to court,
    for^[a] what will you do at its end,
    when your neighbor puts you to shame?

²⁰ A man of faithfulness has abundant blessings,
    but he who hurries to become rich will not go unpunished.
