17A poor man loves mirth, loving wine and oil in abundance;
18and a transgressor is the abomination of a righteous man.
19It is better to dwell in a wilderness than with a quarrelsome and talkative and passionate woman.
20A desirable treasure will rest on the mouth of the wise; but foolish men will swallow it up.
21The way of righteousness and mercy will find life and glory.
22A wise man assaults strong cities, and demolishes the fortress in which the ungodly trusted.
23He that keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from trouble.
24A bold and self-willed and insolent man is called a pest: and he that remembers injuries is a transgressor.
25Desires kill the sluggard; for his hands do not choose to do anything.
