פֹּעַל אוֹצָרוֹת בִּלְשׁוֹן שָׁקֶר הֶבֶל נִדָּף מְבַקְשֵׁי־מָֽוֶת
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapour driven to and fro; they [that seek them] seek death.
Verse 7ז׳Standard2,545
שֹׁד־רְשָׁעִים יְגוֹרֵם כִּי מֵאֲנוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת מִשְׁפָּֽט
The violence of the wicked shall drag them away; Because they refuse to do justly.

הֲפַכְפַּךְ דֶּרֶךְ אִישׁ וָזָר וְזַךְ יָשָׁר פָּעֳלֽוֹ
The way of man is froward and strange; But as for the pure, his work is right.
Verse 9ט׳Standard2,908
טוֹב לָשֶׁבֶת עַל־פִּנַּת־גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת מִדְיָנִים וּבֵית חָֽבֶר
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, Than in a house in common with a contentious woman.
Verse 10י׳Standard2,210
נֶפֶשׁ רָשָׁע אִוְּתָה־רָע לֹא־יֻחַן בְּעֵינָיו רֵעֵֽהוּ
The soul of the wicked desireth evil; His neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
