3 A man shall not be established by wickedness,but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband,but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just,but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood,but the speech of the upright rescues them.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are no more,but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom,but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.
9 Better is he who is little known, and has a servant,than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.
