The lazy person imagines exaggerated dangers to justify inactivity. A warning then appears against sexual seduction and exploiting the poor for personal gain. The passage brings together different forms of deception and abuse that corrupt human relationships.

Treibe den Spötter aus, so geht der Zank weg, so hört auf Hader und Schmähung.
Echa fuera al escarnecedor, y saldrá la contienda, Y cesará el pleito y la afrenta.
Expulsa al burlador y se irá la discordia; cesarán las disputas y las afrentas.
Chasse le moqueur, et la querelle prendra fin; Les disputes et les outrages cesseront.
Caccia lo schernitore, e le contese usciranno fuori; E le liti, ed i vituperi cesseranno
Lança fora o escarnecedor, e se irá a contenda; e acabará a questão e a vergonha.
趕出傲慢人,爭端就消除, 紛爭和羞辱也必止息。
