5 The thoughts of the righteous are just,but guidance from the wicked leads to deceit.
6 The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
7 The wicked are overthrown and perish, but the house of the righteous will stand.
8 A man is praised for his insight,but a twisted mind is despised.
9 Better to be dishonored, yet have a servant,than to act important but have no food.
10 A righteous man cares about his animal’s health, but even the merciful acts of the wicked are cruel.
11 The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense.
