The wicked are overthrown, and [are] not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
[He that is] despised, and hath a servant, [is] better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
A righteous [man] regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain [persons is] void of understanding.
The wicked desireth the net of evil [men]: but the root of the righteous yieldeth [fruit].
The wicked is snared by the transgression of [his] lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of [his] mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel [is] wise.
