14A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath.
15It is joy to the righteous to do judgment; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
16The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall rest in the congregation of the dead.
17He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; and the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.
