7 The wicked die and disappear,but the family of the godly stands firm.
8 A sensible person wins admiration,but a warped mind is despised.
9 Better to be an ordinary person with a servantthan to be self-important but have no food.
10 The godly care for their animals,but the wicked are always cruel.
11 A hard worker has plenty of food,but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.
12 Thieves are jealous of each other’s loot,but the godly are well rooted and bear their own fruit.
13 The wicked are trapped by their own words,but the godly escape such trouble.
