19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and 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 finds life, righteousness, and honor.
22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty, and casts down the stronghold in which they trust.
23 Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
24 Proud and haughty scoffer is his name, who deals in arrogant pride.
25 The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labor.
