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.
9Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.
