3 He that keeps his mouth keeps his life: but he that opens his lips often shall have calamity.
4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and attains nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5 The righteous man hates lying: but the wicked man makes himself loathsome, and abominable.
6 Righteousness keeps the one of the perfect way: but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7 There are those that make themselves rich, yet have nothing: there are those that make themselves poor, yet have great riches.
8 The redemption of a man’s life is his riches: but the poor does not hear rebuke.
9 The light of the righteous shall rejoice: but the fire of the wicked shall be put out.
