6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vapour driven to and fro; they that seek them seek death.
7The violence of the wicked shall drag them away; because they refuse to do justly.
8The way of man is froward and strange; but as for the pure, his work is right.
9It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than in a house in common with a contentious woman.
10The soul of the wicked desireth evil; his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11When the scorner is punished, the thoughtless is made wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12The Righteous One considereth the house of the wicked; overthrowing the wicked to their ruin.
13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be answered.
