¹¹ An evil man seeks only rebellion;
    therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

¹⁹ He who loves disobedience loves strife.
    One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
²⁰ One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity,
    and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.

²⁴ Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding,
    but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.

¹⁴ “It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer;
    but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.

²⁹ A wicked man hardens his face;
    but as for the upright, he establishes his ways.

¹⁰ Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out;
    yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
