4 The payoff for meekness and Fear-of-Godis plenty and honor and a satisfying life.
5 The perverse travel a dangerous road, potholed and mud-slick;if you know what’s good for you, stay clear of it.
6 Point your kids in the right direction—when they’re old they won’t be lost.
7 The poor are always ruled over by the rich,so don’t borrow and put yourself under their power.
8 Whoever sows sin reaps weeds,and bullying anger sputters into nothing.
9 Generous hands are blessed handsbecause they give bread to the poor.
10 Kick out the troublemakers and things will quiet down;you need a break from bickering and griping!
