5The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.
6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.
7The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away, Because they refuse to do justice.
8The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right.
9It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
10The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes.
11When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
