3 Those who are careful about what they say protect their lives,but whoever speaks without thinking will be ruined.
4 The lazy will not get what they want,but those who work hard will.
5 Good people hate what is false,but the wicked do shameful and disgraceful things.
6 Doing what is right protects the honest person,but doing evil ruins the sinner.
7 Some people pretend to be rich but really have nothing.Others pretend to be poor but really are wealthy.
8 The rich may have to pay a ransom for their lives,but the poor will face no such danger.
9 Good people can look forward to a bright future,but the future of the wicked is like a flame going out.
