2 For ka'as (anger) killeth the foolish man, and kinah (envy) slayeth the simple one.
3 I have seen the fool taking shoresh (root), but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His banim are far from yesha (safety, salvation), and they are crushed in the sha'ar (gate, before the public), neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose katzir (harvest) the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even from among of the tzinnim (thorns), and the intriguer pants after their wealth.
