6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongueis a vanity tossed back and forth by those who seek death.
7 The violence of the wicked will destroy them,because they refuse to do justice.
8 The way of a guilty man is perverse;but as for the pure, his work is right.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetopthan with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil;his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise;and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
12 The righteous man wisely considers the house of the wicked,but God overthrows the wicked for their wickedness.
