16 Whoever wanders off the straight and narrowends up in a congregation of ghosts.
17 You’re addicted to thrills? What an empty life!The pursuit of pleasure is never satisfied.
18 What a bad person plots against the good, boomerangs;the plotter gets it in the end.
19 Better to live in a tent in the wildthan with a cross and petulant spouse.
20 Valuables are safe in a wise person’s home;fools put it all out for yard sales.
21 Whoever goes hunting for what is right and kindfinds life itself—glorious life!
22 One sage entered a whole city of armed soldiers—their trusted defenses fell to pieces!
