8 Those who plant injustice will harvest disaster,and their reign of terror will come to an end.
9 Blessed are those who are generous,because they feed the poor.
10 Throw out the mocker, and fighting goes, too.Quarrels and insults will disappear.
11 Whoever loves a pure heart and gracious speechwill have the king as a friend.
12 The lord preserves those with knowledge,but he ruins the plans of the treacherous.
13 The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion out there!If I go outside, I might be killed!”
14 The mouth of an immoral woman is a dangerous trap;those who make the lord angry will fall into it.
