9 The lives of good people are brightly lit streets;the lives of the wicked are dark alleys.
10 Arrogant know-it-alls stir up discord,but wise men and women listen to each other’s counsel.
11 Easy come, easy go,but steady diligence pays off.
12 Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick,but a sudden good break can turn life around.
13 Ignore the Word and suffer;honor God’s commands and grow rich.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,so, no more drinking from death-tainted wells!
15 Sound thinking makes for gracious living,but liars walk a rough road.
