A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;

A good-for-nothing man is a designer of evil, and in his lips there is a burning fire.

A good-for-nothing witness makes sport of the judge's decision: and the mouth of evil-doers sends out evil like a stream.

By ploughing his land a man will have bread in full measure; but he who goes after good-for-nothing persons will be poor enough.

Nothing good comes to him whose heart is fixed on evil purposes: and he who has an evil tongue will come to trouble.

For wisdom is better than jewels, and all things which may be desired are nothing in comparison with her.
