9 Better to be lowly and have a servant than to play the great man and lack bread.

10 ¹Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

11 ²Whoever works his land ³will have plenty of bread, ⁴but he who follows ⁵worthless pursuits lacks sense.

12 Whoever is wicked covets ⁶the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit.

13 An evil man is ensnared ⁷by the transgression of his lips, ⁸but the righteous escapes from trouble.

14 From the fruit of his mouth ⁹a man is satisfied with good, ¹⁰and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.

15 ¹¹The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

16 ¹²The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.

17 ¹³Whoever speaks^a the truth gives honest evidence, but ¹⁴a false witness utters deceit.

18 ¹⁵There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings ¹⁶healing.

19 Truthful lips endure forever, but ¹⁷a lying tongue is but for a moment.
