2 From the fruit of his own month, a man shall be satisfied with good things. But the soul of betrayers is iniquity.
3 Whoever guards his mouth guards his soul. But whoever gives no consideration to his speech shall experience misfortunes.
4 The lazy one is willing and then not willing. But the soul of he who labors shall be made fat.
5 The just shall detest a lying word. But the impious confound and will be confounded.
6 Justice guards the way of the innocent. But impiety undermines the sinner.
7 One is like the rich, though he has nothing. And another is like the poor, though he has many riches.
8 The redemption of a man's life is his riches. But he who is poor cannot tolerate correction.
