5. The thoughts of the righteous are just: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6. The words of the wicked are of lying in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7. The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8. A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9. Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
