Context
13Mvivu husema, “Yuko simba nje!”
au, “Nitauawa katika mitaa!” 14Kinywa cha mwanamke kahaba ni shimo refu;

bali fimbo ya adhabu itaufukuzia mbali naye. 16Yeye amwoneaye maskini ili kujiongezea mali,
naye ampaye tajiri zawadi, wote huwa maskini. 17Tega sikio na usikie misemo ya wenye hekima,
elekeza moyo wako kwenye yale nifundishayo,
