5 The thoughts of the righteous are right-ruling, The counsels of the wrong are deceit.
6 The words of the wrong are, “Lie in wait for blood,” But the mouth of the straight delivers them.
7 The wrong are overthrown, And are no more, But the house of the righteous stands.
8 A man is praised according to his wisdom, But the perverted of heart becomes despised.
9 Better to be lightly esteemed and have a servant, Than the highly esteemed who lacks bread.
10 The righteous regards the life of his beast, But the compassion of the wrong is cruelty.
11 He who tills his land is satisfied with bread, But he who pursues vanities is lacking heart.
