11But by the mouths of ungodly men it is overthrown.
12A man void of understanding sneers at his fellow citizens: But a sensible man is quiet.
13A double-tongued man discloses the secret counsels of an assembly: But he that is faithful in spirit conceals matters.
14They that have no guidance fall like leaves: But in much counsel there is safety.
15A bad man does harm wherever he meets a just man: And he hates the sound of safety.
16A gracious wife brings glory to her husband: But a woman hating righteousness is a theme of dishonor. The slothful come to want: But the diligent support themselves with wealth.
17A merciful man does good to his own soul: But the merciless destroys his own body.
18An ungodly man performs unrighteous works: But the seed of the righteous is a reward of truth.
19A righteous son is born for life: But the persecution of the ungodly ends in death.
20Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: But all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him.
21He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: But he that sows righteousness shall receive a faithful reward.
22As an ornament in a swine’s snout, So is beauty to an ill-minded woman.
23All the desire of the righteous is good: But the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
24There are some who scatter their own, and make it more: And there are some also who gather, yet have less.
25Every sincere soul is blessed: But a passionate man is not graceful.
