3A man shall not be established by wickedness; But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; But she who causeth shame is as rottenness in his bones.
5The purposes of the righteous are just; The designs of the wicked are deceitful.
6The words of the wicked lie in wait for men's blood; But the mouth of the upright delivereth them.
7The wicked are overthrown, and are no more; But the house of the righteous shall stand.
8A man will be commended according to his wisdom; But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9Better is he that demeaneth himself, and hath a servant, Than he that exalteth himself, and hath no bread.
10The righteous man careth for the life of his beast; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
