{20:8} Whoever uses many words will wound his own soul. And whoever unjustly takes authority upon himself will be hated.
{20:9} There is advancement in evil for an undisciplined man, and there is a plan which turns to his detriment.
{20:10} There is a gift which is not helpful, and there is a gift, the repayment for which is double.
{20:11} There is a loss for the sake of boasting, and there is one who will lift up his head from lowliness.
{20:12} There is one who buys much for a small price, and who pays it back sevenfold.
{20:13} Anyone wise in words makes himself loved. But the graces of the foolish will be poured away.
{20:14} A gift from the unwise will not benefit you. For his gaze is divided, sevenfold.
