7When the wicked man dieth, his hope cometh to an end; Yea, the expectation of the unjust cometh to an end.
8The righteous man is delivered from trouble, And the wicked cometh into it in his stead.
9By his mouth the vile man destroyeth his neighbor; But by the knowledge of the righteous are men delivered.
10When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted; But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12He who despiseth his neighbor is void of understanding; A man of discernment holdeth his peace.
13He who goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he who is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
14Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in a multitude of counsellors there is safety.
15He that is surety for another shall smart for it; But he that hateth suretyship is sure.
16A graceful woman obtaineth honor, Even as strong men obtain riches.
17He that doeth good to himself is a man of kindness; But he that tormenteth his own flesh is cruel.
18The wicked toileth for deceitful wages; But he who soweth righteousness shall have a sure reward.
19As righteousness tendeth to life, So he who pursueth evil pursueth it to his death.
20The perverse in heart are the abomination of the LORD; But the upright in their way are his delight.
21From generation to generation the wicked shall not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous shall be delivered.
22As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, So is a beautiful woman who is without discretion.
23The desire of the righteous is only good; But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; And there is that withholdeth more than is right, yet he cometh to want.
25The bountiful man shall be enriched, And he that watereth shall himself be watered.
26Him that keepeth back corn the people curse; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
