7 The violence done by the wicked will drag them awaybecause they refuse to do what is right.
8 The way of the guilty person is devious,but as for the pure, his way is upright.
9 It is better to live on a corner of the housetopthan in a house in company with a quarrelsome wife.
10 The appetite of the wicked desires evil;his neighbor is shown no favor in his eyes.
11 When a scorner is punished, the naive becomes wise;when a wise person is instructed, he gains knowledge.
12 The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked;he overthrows the wicked to their ruin.
13 The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor,he too will cry out and will not be answered.
