5The purposes of the diligent are only to advantage, And of every hasty one, only to want.
6The making of treasures by a lying tongue, Is a vanity driven away of those seeking death.
7The spoil of the wicked catcheth them, Because they have refused to do judgment.
8Froward is the way of a man who is vile, And the pure — upright is his work.
9Better to sit on a corner of the roof, Than with a woman of contentions and a house of company.
10The soul of the wicked hath desired evil, Not gracious in his eyes is his neighbour.
