5 The thoughts of the righteous are just, But 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.
