5 The plans of the diligent end up in profit,but those who hurry end up with loss.
6 Those who gain treasure with liesare like a drifting fog, leading to death.
7 The violence of the wicked will sweep them away,for they refuse to act with justice.
8 The ways of some people are twisted and strange,but the behavior of those who do right is pure.
9 Better to live on the edge of a roofthan with a contentious woman in a large house.
10 Wicked people desire evil;their neighbors receive no mercy from them.
11 When a mocker is punished, the naive person gains wisdom;when insight comes to the wise, knowledge increases.
