6. The words of the wicked kill;the speech of the upright saves.

7. Wicked people fall to pieces—there’s nothing to them;the homes of good people hold together.

8. A person who talks sense is honored;airheads are held in contempt.

9. Better to be ordinary and work for a livingthan act important and starve in the process.

10. Good people are good to their animals;the “good-hearted” bad people kick and abuse them.
