10
When it goeth well with the just, the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish, there shall be praise.
11
By the blessing of the just the city shall be exalted: and by the mouth of the wicked it shall be overthrown.
12
He that despiseth his friend, is mean of heart: but the wise man will hold his peace.
13
He that walketh deceitfully, revealeth secrets: but he that is faithful, concealeth the thing committed to him by his friend.
14
Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel.
15
He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of snares, shall be secure.
16
A gracious woman shall find glory: and the strong shall have riches.
17
A merciful man doth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel casteth off even his own kindred.
18
The wicked maketh an unsteady work: but to him that soweth justice, there is a faithful reward.
19
Clemency prepareth life: and the pursuing of evil things, death.
20
A perverse heart is abominable to the Lord: and his will is in them that walk sincerely.
