3 A person will not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will not be moved.
4 A woman of strength [is] the crown of her master, but like rot in his bones is she who brings shame.
6 The words of the wicked [are] an ambush of blood, but the mouth of the upright delivers them.
8 For his mouth of good sense, a man will be recommended, but he who is of perverse {mind} will be despised.
11 He who works his land will have plenty of food, but he who follows worthless things lacks {sense}.
14 From the fruit of the mouth of a man, he is filled with good, and the reward of {a man's labor} will return to him.
16 As for a fool, {on that very day} he makes his anger known, but he who ignores an insult [is] prudent.
18 There is one who speaks rashly, like the thrust of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
20 Deceit [is] in the heart of {those who plan} evil, but to {those who plan} peace, [there is] joy.
22 An abomination of Yahweh are lips of deceit, but they who act faithfully [are] his delight.
26 A righteous person will seek out his neighbor, but the way of the wicked will lead them astray.
