4A good wife is one who causes her husband to be greatly honored, but a wife who does things that cause her husband to be ashamed will destroy him like SIM cancer destroys his bones.
5What righteous people want to do is to treat people fairly; what wicked people want to do is to deceive people.
6What wicked people say is like a trap MET that kills MTY people who pass by, but what righteous people say MTY rescues those whom wicked people threaten to harm.
7Wicked people will die before they become old and we will see them no more, but righteous people will live for many years and have many descendants.
8People will praise those who have good sense, but people will despise those ◄who are always thinking about doing evil things/whose thinking is twisted►.
9It is better to be a humble/ordinary person who has only one servant than to think that you are very important while you have nothing to eat.
10Righteous people take care of their domestic animals, but wicked people act cruelly toward their animals.
11Farmers who work hard in their fields will produce good crops that will give them plenty to eat, but those who waste their time working on worthless projects are foolish.
12Wicked people desire to take away what other evil people have, but Yahweh enables righteous/godly people to be steadfast and productive MET.
13Evil people are trapped by the evil things that they say MTY, but righteous people escape from trouble.
14People are rewarded for the good things that they say to others, and people are also rewarded for the good work that they do MTY.
15Foolish people always think that what they are doing is right; wise people heed other people when they give them good advice.
16Foolish people quickly become angry when someone does something that they don't like; but those who have good sense ignore it when others insult them.
17In the courtroom, honest people say what is true, but untruthful/dishonest people tell nothing but lies.
18What some people say hurts people badly, as much as SIM a sword can; but what wise people say ◄heals others' souls/comforts others►.
