4 A woman of worth is the crown of her husband,but a disgraceful one is like rot in his bones.
5 The plans of the just are right;the designs of the wicked are deceit.
6 The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush,but the speech of the upright saves them.
7 Overthrow the wicked and they are no more,but the house of the just stands firm.
8 For their good sense people are praised,but the perverse of heart are despised.
9 Better to be slighted and have a servantthan put on airs and lack bread.
10 The just take care of their livestock,but the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
