5 When poor people pray, God hears them and quickly answers their prayers.
6 If you refuse to accept correction, you are committing a sin; and if you fear the Lord, you will make a sincere change in your ways.
7 Someone may be famous as a good speaker, but when he is wrong, a sensible person will detect it.
8 Someone who borrows money to build a house is just collecting stones for his own tomb.
9 A group of people who have no respect for the Law is like a pile of kindling; they will meet a fiery end.
10 The road that sinners walk is smooth and paved, but it leads to the world of the dead.
11 Whoever wants to keep the Law must learn what the Law means. If you fear the Lord in every sense of the term, you will have wisdom.
