6. Unless a man’s soul is filled with good, his riches, wealth, honor, and posterity are vanity.
7. Wisdom gives life to them that have it—All men are sinners—God has made man upright.
8. None have power to avoid death—It will not be well with the wicked; he turns to pleasure and cannot find wisdom.
9. God’s providence rules over all—All men are subject to time and chance—Wisdom is better than strength—One sinner destroys much good.
10. A little folly destroys the reputation of the wise and honorable—The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious—A fool is full of words.
11. Do good and give to them who need—God will bring all men to judgment.
12. At death the spirit will return to God who gave it—The words of the wise are as goads—The whole duty of man is to fear God and keep his commandments.
