2. The good obtains favor from Yahweh, but anyone who schemes, he condemns.
3. A person will not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will not be moved.
4. A woman of strength is the crown of her master, but like rot in his bones is she who brings shame.
5. The thoughts of the righteous are just; the advice of the wicked is treacherous.
6. The words of the wicked are an ambush of blood, but the mouth of the upright delivers them.
