18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; The treacherous for the upright.
19 It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.
20 There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swallows it up.
21 He who follows after righteousness and kindness Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
22 A wise man scales the city of the mighty, And brings down the strength of its confidence.
