6. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting breath of them that seek death.
7. The devastation of the wicked sweepeth them away, because they refuse to do what is right.
8. Very crooked is the way of a guilty man; but as for the pure, his work is upright.
9. It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman, and a house in common.
