7. God shall overthrow the wicked, and they shall not be any longer, but the house of the righteous shall remain.
8. A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9. He that despises himself and becomes a slave is better than he that honours himself and lacks bread.
10. The righteous is merciful even unto his beast, but the piety of the wicked is cruel.
