4 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, But a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just. The advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, But the speech of the upright rescues them.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, But the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, But he who has a warped mind shall be despised.
9 Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, Than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.
10 A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
