30 Like a decoy partridge in a cage, so is the heart of the proud,and like a spy they will pick out the weak spots.
31 For they lie in wait to turn good into evil,and to praiseworthy deeds they attach blame.
32 One spark kindles many coals;a sinner lies in wait for blood.
33 Beware of scoundrels, for they breed only evil,and they may give you a lasting stain.
34 Admit strangers into your home, and they will stir up troubleand make you a stranger to your own family.
