10The soul of the wicked longeth to do evil; His neighbor findeth no compassion in his eyes.
11When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; When the wise man is taught, he receiveth knowledge.
12The righteous man hath regard to the house of the wicked; He casteth the wicked headlong into ruin.
13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry aloud, but shall not be heard.
14A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.
15To do justice shall be joy to the righteous; But destruction is for them that do iniquity.
16A man who wandereth from the way of discretion Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.
17He that loveth pleasure will be a poor man; He that loveth wine and oil will not be rich.
18The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous! And in the room of the upright shall be the transgressor.
19It is better to dwell in a desert land Than with a contentious and fretful woman.
20Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of the wise; But the foolish man swalloweth them up.
21He who followeth after righteousness and mercy Shall find life, prosperity, and honor.
