Proverbs

⁴Haughty eyes and a proud heart – the agricultural product of the wicked is sin. ⁵The plans of the diligent lead only to plenty,but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. ⁶Making a fortune by a lying tongue is like a vapor driven back and forth; they seek death. ⁷The violence done by the wicked will drag them awaybecause they refuse to do what is right. ⁸The way of the guilty person is devious,but as for the pure, his way is upright. ⁹It is better to live on a corner of the housetopthan in a house in company with a quarrelsome wife. ¹⁰The appetite of the wicked desires evil;his neighbor is shown no favor in his eyes.
