verses 9-22 are listed below:

9.Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

10.Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

11.Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

12.For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

13.Consider the work of God: Who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

14.In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

15.All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

16.Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

17.Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

18.It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.

19.Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

20.For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

21.Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:

22.For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
