9. Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.
10. The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
11. He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.
12. The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.
13. For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.
