7 Turn from the impious, and they will not be. But the house of the just shall stand firm.
8 A man will be known by his doctrine. But whoever is vain and heartless will suffer contempt.
9 Better is a pauper who has what he needs, than someone glorious and in need of bread.
10 The just one knows the lives of his beasts. But the inner most parts of the impious are cruel.
11 Whoever works his land shall be satisfied with bread. But whoever continually pursues leisure is most foolish. Whoever is soothed by lingering over wine leaves behind contempt in his strongholds.
