WorkPoverty and the vulnerable

23 De som vokter sin munn og tunge, beskytter seg selv mot trøbbel.

24 Den stolte og arrogante personen, kjent som "Spotter", handler med frekk stolthet.

Den late persons ønske vil bli hans fall, for hans hender nekter å arbeide.

26 Hele dagen lengter han, men de rettferdige gir gavmildt uten å holde tilbake.

27 De ondes offer er avskyelig, og enda mer når det bringes med onde hensikter.
