3. He that keeps his mouth keeps his life: but he that opens wide his lips shall have destruction.
4. The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
5. A righteous man hates lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and comes to shame.
6. Righteousness keeps him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7. There is one that makes himself rich, yet has nothing: there is one that makes himself poor, yet has great riches.
8. The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor hears not rebuke.
