17. He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man.He who loves wine and oil shall not be rich.
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 kindnessfinds life, righteousness, and honour.
22. A wise man scales the city of the mighty,and brings down the strength of its confidence.
