9 It is ¹better 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 ²a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise; when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.

12 The Righteous One ³observes the house of the wicked; he throws the wicked down to ruin.

13 ⁴Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.

14 ⁵A gift in secret averts anger, and a concealed bribe,^a strong wrath.

15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous ⁶but terror to evildoers.

16 One who wanders from the way of good sense ⁷will 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 ⁸The wicked is a ⁹ransom for the righteous, and the traitor for the upright.

19 It is ¹⁰better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

20 ¹¹Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man ¹²devours it.

21 Whoever ¹³pursues righteousness and kindness will find ¹⁴life, righteousness, and honor.

22 ¹⁵A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

23 ¹⁶Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue ¹⁷keeps himself out of ¹⁸trouble.

24 ¹⁹"Scoffer" is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.

25 The desire of ²⁰the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

26 All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous ²¹gives and does not hold back.

27 ²²The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more ²³when he brings it with evil intent.

28 ²⁴A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure.

29 A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright ²⁵gives thought to^b his ways.
