In context
5 The plans of the diligent, tend only to abundance, but, of every one that is urgent, only to want.
6 The gaining of treasures with a tongue of falsehood, is a vapour driven away, [they who seek them] seek death,
7 The violence of the lawless, shall drag them away,—because they have refused to do justice.
8 Crooked is the way of a guilty man, but, as for the pure, straight is his dealing.
9 Better to dwell on the corner of the roof, than a quarrelsome wife, and a house in common.
10 The soul of the lawless man, craveth mischief, his own friend, findeth no favour in his eyes.
11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple, becometh wise, when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
