16 The man who wanders out of the way of understandingshall rest in the assembly of the departed spirits.
17 He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man.He who loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous;the treacherous for the upright.
19 It is better to dwell in a desert land,than with a contentious and fretful woman.
20 There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise;but a foolish man swallows it up.
21 He who follows after righteousness and kindnessfinds life, righteousness, and honor.
22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty,and brings down the strength of its confidence.
