17 Whoso 'is' loving mirth 'is' a poor man, Whoso is loving wine and oil maketh no wealth.
18 The wicked 'is' an atonement for the righteous, And for the upright the treacherous dealer.
19 Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than 'with' a woman of contentions and anger.
20 A treasure to be desired, and oil, 'Is' in the habitation of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up.
21 Whoso is pursuing righteousness and kindness, Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
