18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; and the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.
19It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman.
20There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man swalloweth it up.
21He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24The proud and haughty man, scorner is his name, he worketh in the arrogance of pride.
25The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
26There is that coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind!
28A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth shall speak unchallenged.
29A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he ordereth his ways.
30There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
