8Those who sow injustice will reap disaster, and the angry beatings they inflict on others will be stopped.
9If you're generous, you'll be blessed, for you share your food with those in need.
10Get rid of the scornful, and you'll get rid of conflict too—no more arguments or insults!
11Anyone who loves sincerity and a gracious way of speaking will have the king as their friend.
12The Lord watches over true knowledge, but counteracts the words of liars.
