3 A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 A woman of worth is a crown to her husband; but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
6 The words of the wicked are a lying-in-wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
8 A man is commended according to his wisdom; but he that is of a perverted heart shall be despised.
9 Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
10 A righteous man is concerned for the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he that followeth the worthless is void of understanding.
13 In the transgression of the lips is an evil snare; but a righteous man shall go forth out of trouble.
14 A man is satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
18 There is that babbleth like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
21 There shall no evil happen to a righteous man; but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
27 The slothful roasteth not what he took in hunting; but man's precious substance is to the diligent.
