7 The wicked get buried alive by their lootbecause they refuse to use it to help others.
8 Mixed motives twist life into tangles;pure motives take you straight down the road.
9 Better to live alone in a tumbledown shackthan share a mansion with a nagging spouse.
10 Wicked souls love to make trouble;they feel nothing for friends and neighbors.
11 Simpletons only learn the hard way,but the wise learn by listening.
12 A God-loyal person will see right through the wickedand undo the evil they’ve planned.
13 If you stop your ears to the cries of the poor,your cries will go unheard, unanswered.
