4Pride and arrogance are the sins the wicked live by.
5Those who plan ahead and work hard will have plenty, while those who act rashly end up poor.
6Money made by lies is like smoke in the wind—a chase that ends in death.
7The destruction caused by the wicked will destroy them, for they refuse to do what's right.
8Guilty people live crooked lives, but the innocent follow straight paths.
9It's better to live in a corner of a housetop than to share a whole house with an argumentative wife.
10Evil people love to do wrong, they don't care what pain they cause anyone.
11When a mocker is punished, an immature person can learn wisdom. When the wise are educated, they gain knowledge.
12The God of justice sees what happens in the homes of the wicked, and brings the wicked down in disaster.
13If you refuse to hear the cries of the poor, your cries won't be heard either.
14A gift given in secret calms down anger, and a hidden bribe soothes furious rage.
15When justice is done, the good are happy, but it brings terror to those who do evil.
16Anyone who wanders away from the path of understanding ends up with the dead.
17If you love pleasure you'll become poor; if you love wine and olive oil you won't ever be rich.
