24 Better are the God-fearing who have little understandingthan those of great intelligence who violate the Law.
25 There is a shrewdness keen but dishonest,and there are those who are duplicitous to win a judgment.
26 There is the villain bowed in grief,but full of deceit within.
27 He hides his face and pretends not to hear,but when not observed, he will take advantage of you:
28 Even if his lack of strength keeps him from sinning,when he finds the right time he will do harm.
29 People are known by their appearance;the sensible are recognized as such when first met.
30 One’s attire, hearty laughter, and gaitproclaim him for what he is.
