3 A person gains honor by avoiding strife,while every fool starts a quarrel.
4 In seedtime sluggards do not plow;when they look for the harvest, it is not there.
5 The intention of the human heart is deep water,but the intelligent draw it forth.
6 Many say, “My loyal friend,”but who can find someone worthy of trust?
7 The just walk in integrity;happy are their children after them!
8 A king seated on the throne of judgmentdispels all evil with his glance.
9 Who can say, “I have made my heart clean,I am cleansed of my sin”?
