5The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
6The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.
7Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.
8A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
9Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.
10The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
11He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.
12The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.
13For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.
