6 Making a fortune through a lying tongueis a vanishing mist,[a] a pursuit of death.[b][c](A)
13 The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poorwill himself also call out and not be answered.(A)
14 A secret gift soothes anger,and a covert bribe,[a] fierce rage.(B)
17 The one who loves pleasure will become a poor man;whoever loves wine and oil will not get rich.(A)
20 Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of a wise person,but a foolish man consumes them.[a](A)
26 He is filled with craving[a] all day long,but the righteous give and don’t hold back.(A)
