4 Alarm and insolence will strip away wealth; thus will an arrogant person's house be uprooted.

5 The petition of the poor goes from their mouth to God's ears, and his judgment comes quickly.

6 Anyone who hates reproof walks in the footsteps of a sinner, and those who fear the Lord will turn back to him from the heart.
