3 Whoever controls his mouth protects his own life.Whoever has a big mouth comes to ruin.
4 A lazy person craves food and there is none,but the appetite of hard-working people is satisfied.
5 A righteous person hates lying,but a wicked person behaves with shame and disgrace.
6 Righteousness protects the honest way of life,but wickedness ruins a sacrifice for sin.
7 One person pretends to be rich but has nothing.Another pretends to be poor but has great wealth.
8 A person’s riches are the ransom for his life,but the poor person does not pay attention to threats.
9 The light of righteous people beams brightly,but the lamp of wicked people will be snuffed out.
