18 Whoever walks blamelessly will be¹ saved,
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall. ‡

19 ^aHe who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough! ‡

23 ^aHe who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward
Than he who flatters with the tongue. ‡

24 Whoever robs his father or his mother,
And says, “It is no transgression,”
The same ^ais companion to a destroyer. ‡
