¹²The wicked desire the booty of evil men, but the root of the [uncompromisingly] righteous yields [richer fruitage].

¹³The wicked is [dangerously] snared by the transgression of his lips, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall come out of trouble.

¹⁴From the fruit of his words a man shall be satisfied with good, and the work of a man’s hands shall come back to him [as a harvest].
