5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness: but every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vapour driven to and fro; they that seek them seek death.
7 The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away; because they refuse to do judgment.
8 The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked: but as for the pure, his work is right.
9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
