16 The man that wanders out of the way of wisdom shall end up in the congregation of the dead.
17 He that loves pleasure shall be a poor man; he that loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness than with a contentious and an angry woman.
20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spends it up.
21 He that follows after righteousness and mercy shall find life, righteousness, and honour.
22 The wise man took the city of the mighty and cast down its strength in which it trusted.
