An high look, and a proud heart, [and] the plowing of the wicked, [is] sin.
The thoughts of the diligent [tend] only to plenteousness; but of every one [that is] hasty only to want.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue [is] a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
The way of man [is] froward and strange: but [as for] the pure, his work [is] right.
[It is] better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
The righteous [man] wisely considereth the house of the wicked: [but God] overthroweth the wicked for [their] wickedness.
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
