8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble,and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed;for he shares his food with the poor.
10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out;yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefullyis the king’s friend.
12 the Lord’s eyes watch over knowledge;but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside!I will be killed in the streets!”
14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit.He who is under the Lord’s wrath will fall into it.
