(5) He that laughs at the poor provokes him that made him; and he that rejoices at the destruction of another shall not be held guiltless: but he that has compassion shall find mercy.

(16) Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. (16a) He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief.

(18) A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, as he also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends.

A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother.	(21) καρδία δὲ ἄφρονος ὀδύνη τῷ κεκτηµένῳ αὐτήν. οὐκ εὐφραίνεται πατὴρ ἐπὶ υἱῷ ἀπαιδεύτῳ, υἱὸς δὲ φρόνιµος εὐφραίνει µητέρα αὐτοῦ.
