5 The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit;and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
6 Getting treasures by a lying tongueis a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.
7 The violence of the wicked will drive them away,because they refuse to do what is right.
8 The way of the guilty is devious,but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,than to share a house with a contentious woman.
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil;his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
11 When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom.When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
