9Better to have an unimportant position—only being a servant— than to brag about your importance but have no food.
10The righteous person cares about the needs of his animal, but even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
11The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases after worthless projects has no sense.
12The wicked person desires what evil men have stolen from others, but the fruit of righteous people comes from themselves.
13An evil person is trapped by his wicked talk, but the righteous person escapes from trouble.
14From the fruit of his words a person is filled with good things, just as the work of his hands rewards him.
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.
16A fool shows his anger at once, but one who ignores an insult is prudent.
17The one who speaks the truth says what is right, but a false witness tells lies.
18The words of one who speaks rashly are like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
19Truthful lips last forever, but a lying tongue is only for a moment.
20There is deceit in the hearts of those who plan to do evil, but joy comes to the advisors of peace.
21No ill comes on the righteous person, but wicked people are filled with difficulties.
22Yahweh hates lying lips, but those who live faithfully are his delight.
23A prudent man conceals his knowledge, but the heart of fools shouts out folly.
