12There are some kinds of behavior MET that some people falsely think are right, but ◄walking on those roads/continually doing those things► causes those people to die.
13Sometimes when people laugh, they are really sad, and when they stop laughing, they are still sad.
14Those who stubbornly continue to do what is wrong will get what they deserve, and those who continually do what is good will also get what they deserve.
15Foolish people believe everything that people tell them; those who have good sense think carefully about what will be the result of their actions.
16Wise people are careful and avoid doing things that will give them trouble; foolish people are careless and act ◄too quickly/without thinking►.
17Those who quickly become angry IDM do foolish things; people hate those who plan to do wicked things (OR, those who have good sense remain calm/patient).
18Foolish people get what they deserve for doing foolish things; those with good sense are rewarded MET by being able to learn a lot.
19Some day evil people will bow down in front of righteous people to show that they respect them; they will humbly stand at the gates of the houses of righteous people and request their help.
20No one likes poor people; even their friends/neighbors do not like them; rich people have many friends, but only while the rich people still have money.
21It is sinful to despise your poor neighbors; God is pleased with those who do kind things for the poor.
22Those who plan to do things that are evil/wrong are walking on the wrong road; people faithfully love, respect and are loyal to those who plan to do what is good.
23If you work hard, you will ◄accomplish something good/get a good income►, but if all you do is to talk and not work, you will remain poor.
