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.
12 The wrong shall covet the catch of evil-doers, But the root of the righteous yields fruit.
13 In the transgression of the lips is an evil snare, But the righteous gets out of distress.
