4A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.
5The thoughts of the upright are mishpat ·just·, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
7The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the upright shall stand.
8A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he who has a linnened mind shall be despised.
