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.
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.
