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.
9 The life of the godly is full of light and joy,but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
10 Pride leads to conflict;those who take advice are wise.
