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!
11 God loves the pure-hearted and well-spoken;good leaders also delight in their friendship.
12 God guards knowledge with a passion,but he’ll have nothing to do with deception.
13 The loafer says, “There’s a lion on the loose!If I go out I’ll be eaten alive!”
14 The mouth of a whore is a bottomless pit;you’ll fall in that pit if you’re on the outs with God.
