3When an ungodly man comes into a depth of evils, he despises them; but dishonour and reproach come upon him.
4A word in the heart of a man is a deep water, and a river and fountain of life spring forth.
5It is not good to accept the person of the ungodly, nor is it holy to pervert justice in judgement.
6The lips of a fool bring him into troubles, and his bold mouth calls for death.
7A fool's mouth is ruin to him, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8Fear casts down the slothful; and the souls of the effeminate shall hunger.
9A man who helps not himself by his labour is brother of him that ruins himself.
