3He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.
4The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.
5The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.
6Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.
7A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.
8A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.
9There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out.
10The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.
11Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
12Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.
13He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.
14The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.
15Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.
