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.
14A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath.
15To do justly is joy to the righteous, but ruin to the workers of iniquity.
