Wisdom in Couplets

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.

7 The wicked are overthrown and ⌊are no more⌋,

but the house of the righteous shall stand.

8 For his mouth of good sense, a man will be recommended,

but he who is of perverse ⌊mind⌋ will be despised.

9 It is better to be lowly and a servant ⌊to someone⌋

than self-glorifying and lacking food.

10 The righteous knows the life of his animal,

but the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
