8Very crooked is the way of a guilty man; but as for the pure, his work is upright.
9It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman, and a house in common.
10The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12One that is righteous wisely considereth the house of the wicked: he overthroweth the wicked to their ruin.
13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also himself shall cry, and shall not be heard.
14A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a present in the bosom, vehement fury.
15It is joy to a righteous man to do what is right; but it is ruin for the workers of iniquity.
16The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead.
17He that loveth mirth shall be a poor man; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and a treacherous man in the stead of the upright.
19It is better to dwell in a desert land. than with a contentious and irritable woman.
20There is costly store and oil in the dwelling of a wise man; but a foolish man swalloweth it up.
