10 The soul of the wicked desires evil;their neighbor finds no pity in their eyes.
11 When scoffers are punished the naive become wise;when the wise succeed, they gain knowledge.
12 The Righteous One appraises the house of the wicked,bringing down the wicked to ruin.
13 Those who shut their ears to the cry of the poorwill themselves call out and not be answered.
14 A secret gift allays anger,and a present concealed, violent wrath.
15 When justice is done it is a joy for the just,downfall for evildoers.
16 Whoever strays from the way of good sensewill abide in the assembly of the shades.
