8He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
9He who has a generous eye will be blessed; for he shares his food with the poor.
10Divorce the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
11He who 'ahav ·affectionately loves· purity of heart and speaks chen ·gracefully· is the king’s friend.
12Adonai ’s eyes watch over knowledge; but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!”
14The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit: he who is under Adonai ’s wrath will fall into it.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
