Proverbs 18:
An unfriendly man seeks selfish
ends. It is bad to favor the wicked and deprive the innocent of justice.
The
lazy is the same as the one who destroys (those who bear false witness or ignore
truth because of money from others). The wealthy puts faith in his
fortified city assuming that the wall is not scalable. The tongue has the power
of life and death. He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and there is a
friend closer than a brother.
Proverbs 19:
It is useless to have zeal
without knowledge, so always does your research before you invest. A man's
stupidity ruins him, yet he blames God. A false witness will always pay for
it. The poor is shunned by his relatives, but the rich has many friends.
So try
never to be poor or show it. It is not fitting for a fool or slave to live in
luxury because it is the easiest way to destroy a people; just empower and
enrich to fools and the next generation will disregard wisdom. A wise man’s
patience overlooks an offense. Wealth is from man, but a good spouse is from
God. A false witness mocks justice and celebrates evil, so they must pay the
penalty. |

Proverbs 20:
God detests unequally justice and
scales. A godless buyer says that it not good to discourage you, but goes on to
brag about the purchase. A fool puts up security for a stranger and pledges for
a wayward woman. God determines the steps of the godly, not the godly.
A wise
king destroys the wicked.
