3 To do what is right and justis more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart—the lamp of the wicked will fail.
5 The plans of the diligent end in profit,but those of the hasty end in loss.
6 Trying to get rich by lyingis chasing a bubble over deadly snares.
7 The violence of the wicked will sweep them away,because they refuse to do what is right.
8 One’s path may be winding and unfamiliar,but one’s conduct is blameless and right.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetopthan in a mansion with a quarrelsome woman.
