In context
17 Yeye ambaye anakuwa na hasira kwa haraka hufanya mambo ya kipumbavu, na mtu anayefanya hila mbaya huchukiwa.
18 Wajinga hurithi upumbavu, lakini watu wenye hekima wamezingirwa kwa maarifa.
19 Hao ambao ni waovu watainama mbele yao walio wema na wale wenye uovu watasujudu kwenye malango ya wenye haki.
20 Mtu masikini huchukiwa hata na marafiki zake, bali watu matajiri wanamarafiki wengi.
21 Yeye ambaye huonyesha dharau kwa jirani yake anafanya dhambi, bali yule ambaye huonyesha fadhila kwa masikini anafuraha.
22 Je wale wanaofanya njama mbaya hawapotei? Bali wale wenye mpango wa kutenda mema watapokea agano la uaminifu na udhamini
23 Katika kazi zote ngumu huja faida, bali palipo na maongezi tu, huelekea kwenye umasikini.
