17He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, And the transgressor for the upright.
19It is better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and an angry woman.
20There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man spendeth it up.
21He that followeth after righteousness and mercy Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.
24Proud and haughty scorner is his name, Who dealeth in proud wrath.
25The desire of the slothful killeth him; For his hands refuse to labour.
26He coveteth greedily all the day long: But the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
