9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked; how the wicked are overthrown to their ruin.
13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry, but shall not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the righteous to do judgment; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
