7. God shall overthrow the wicked, and they shall not be any longer, but the house of the righteous shall remain.
8. A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9. He that despises himself and becomes a slave is better than he that honours himself and lacks bread.
10. The righteous is merciful even unto his beast, but the piety of the wicked is cruel.
11. He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he that follows vain persons is void of understanding.
