⁴ ¶ A high look and a proud heart, which is the fire of the wicked, is sin.

⁷ ¶ The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them because they refuse to do judgment.

¹⁰ ¶ The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbour finds no favour in his eyes.

¹² ¶ The righteous man wisely considers the house of the wicked, how God overthrows the wicked for their evil.

¹⁸ ¶ The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

²⁷ ¶ The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination; how much more, when he brings it with lewdness?

²⁹ ¶ The wicked man hardens his face, but as for the upright, he orders his ways.

¹⁵ ¶ Do not lay in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; do not spoil his resting place.

¹⁶ For a just man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked shall fall into evil.

¹⁹ ¶ Do not meddle with those who are evil, neither be envious of the wicked;

²⁰ for the evil man shall not come to a good end; the fire of the wicked shall be put out.
