10 (A)Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast,
    but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
11 (B)Whoever works his land (C)will have plenty of bread,
    (D)but he who follows (E)worthless pursuits lacks sense.
12 Whoever is wicked covets (F)the spoil of evildoers,
    but the root of the righteous bears fruit.
13 An evil man is ensnared (G)by the transgression of his lips,[a]
    (H)but the righteous escapes from trouble.
14 From the fruit of his mouth (I)a man is satisfied with good,
    (J)and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.
