3 ¹To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

4 ²Haughty eyes and a proud heart, ³the lamp^a of the wicked, are sin.

5 The plans of ⁴the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is ⁵hasty comes ⁶only to poverty.

6 ⁷The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a ⁸fleeting ⁹vapor and a ¹⁰snare of death.^b

7 The violence of the wicked will ¹¹sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just.

8 The way of the guilty ¹²is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.

9 It is ¹³better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

10 The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

11 When ¹⁴a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.

12 The Righteous One ¹⁵observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin.

13 ¹⁶Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.

14 ¹⁷A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe,^c strong wrath.

15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous ¹⁸but terror to evildoers.

16 One who wanders from the way of good sense ¹⁹will rest in the assembly of the dead.

17 Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

18 ²⁰The wicked is a ²¹ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.

19 It is ²²better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

20 ²³Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man ²⁴devours it.

21 Whoever ²⁵pursues righteousness and kindness will find ²⁶life, righteousness, and honor.

22 ²⁷A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 ²⁸Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue ²⁹keeps himself out of ³⁰trouble.
