18The wicked shalbe a ransome for the iust, and the transgressour for the righteous.
19It is better to dwell in the wildernesse, then with a contentious and angry woman.
20In the house of the wise is a pleasant treasure and oyle: but a foolish man deuoureth it.
21He that followeth after righteousnes and mercy, shall finde life, righteousnes, and glory.
22A wise man goeth vp into the citie of the mightie, and casteth downe the strength of the confidence thereof.
23He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from afflictions.
24Proude, hautie and scornefull is his name that worketh in his arrogancie wrath.
25The desire of the slouthfull slayeth him: for his hands refuse to worke.
