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.

20 Deceit is in the heart of ¹⁸those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy.

21 ¹⁹No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.

22 ²⁰Lying lips are ²¹an abomination to the LORD, ²²but those who act faithfully are his delight.

23 ²³A prudent man conceals knowledge, ²⁴but the heart of fools proclaims folly.

24 ²⁵The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be ²⁶put to forced labor.

25 ²⁷Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

26 One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor,^b but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

27 ²⁸Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.^c

28 ²⁹In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.
