17 The one who loves pleasure will become a poor man;whoever loves wine and oil will not get rich.
18 The wicked are a ransom for the righteous,and the treacherous, for the upright.
19 Better to live in a wildernessthan with a nagging and hot-tempered wife.
20 Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of a wise person,but a foolish man consumes them.
21 The one who pursues righteousness and faithful lovewill find life, righteousness, and honor.
22 A wise person went up against a city of warriorsand brought down its secure fortress.
23 The one who guards his mouth and tonguekeeps himself out of trouble.
