7When evil people are destroyed, they are gone and forgotten, but good people are remembered long after they are gone.
8You praise people for their intelligence, but no one respects those who are stupid.
9It is better to appear unimportant and have a servant than to pretend to be important and have no food.
10Good people take good care of their animals, but the wicked know only how to be cruel.
