2 Whoever is good shall draw grace from the Lord. But whoever trusts in his own thoughts acts impiously.
3 Man will not be made strong from impiety. And the root of the just shall not be moved.
4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband. And she who acts with confusion as to which things are worthy is decay to his bones.
5 The thoughts of the just are judgments. And the counsels of the impious are dishonest.
6 The words of the impious lie in wait for blood. The mouth of the just shall free them.
7 Turn from the impious, and they will not be. But the house of the just shall stand firm.
8 A man will be known by his doctrine. But whoever is vain and heartless will suffer contempt.
