9 Mejor es el que es menospreciado y tiene servidores, que el que se precia, y carece de pan.

10 El justo atiende á la vida de su bestia: mas las entrañas de los impíos son crueles.

11 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los vagabundos es falto de entendimiento.

12 Desea el impío la red de los malos: mas la raíz de los justos dará [fruto].

13 El impío es enredado en la prevaricación de sus labios: mas el justo saldrá de la tribulación.
