23. A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.
24. The path of life is above for the wise, that he may decline from the lowest hell.
25. The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.
26. Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.
27. He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.
28. The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.
