8 The way of the guilty ¹is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.

9 It is ²better 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 ³a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.

12 The Righteous One ⁴observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin.

13 ⁵Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.

14 ⁶A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe,^a strong wrath.

15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous ⁷but terror to evildoers.

16 One who wanders from the way of good sense ⁸will 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 ⁹The wicked is a ¹⁰ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.

19 It is ¹¹better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

20 ¹²Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man ¹³devours it.

21 Whoever ¹⁴pursues righteousness and kindness will find ¹⁵life, righteousness, and honor.

22 ¹⁶A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 ¹⁷Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue ¹⁸keeps himself out of ¹⁹trouble.

24 ²⁰"Scoffer" is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.

25 The desire of ²¹the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

26 All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous ²²gives and does not hold back.

27 ²³The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more ²⁴when he brings it with evil intent.

28 ²⁵A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure.
