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.
17 The lover of pleasure will suffer want;the lover of wine and perfume will never be rich.
18 The wicked serve as ransom for the just,and the faithless for the upright.
19 It is better to dwell in a wildernessthan with a quarrelsome wife and trouble.
20 Precious treasure and oil are in the house of the wise,but the fool consumes them.
21 Whoever pursues justice and kindnesswill find life and honor.
