17. He who loves pleasure will become a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.
18. The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous is in the place of the upright.
19. It is better to live in a desert land Than with a contentious and vexing woman.
20. There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, But a foolish man swallows it up.
21. He who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness and honor.
