2 Wise words will win you a good meal,but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.
3 Those who control their tongue will have a long life;opening your mouth can ruin everything.
4 Lazy people want much but get little,but those who work hard will prosper.
5 The godly hate lies;the wicked cause shame and disgrace.
6 Godliness guards the path of the blameless,but the evil are misled by sin.
7 Some who are poor pretend to be rich;others who are rich pretend to be poor.
8 The rich can pay a ransom for their lives,but the poor won’t even get threatened.
