3 No one can be established through wickedness,but the righteous cannot be uprooted.
4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown,but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
5 The plans of the righteous are just,but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,but the speech of the upright rescues them.
7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more,but the house of the righteous stands firm.
8 A person is praised according to their prudence,and one with a warped mind is despised.
9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servantthan pretend to be somebody and have no food.
