Context
9Ni afadhali kuishi pembeni mwa paa la nyumba,
kuliko kuishi nyumba moja na mke mgomvi. 10Mtu mwovu hutamani sana ubaya,
jirani yake hapati huruma kutoka kwake. 11Wakati mwenye mzaha ameadhibiwa,
mjinga hupata hekima;
wakati mtu mwenye hekima afundishwapo,
hupata maarifa. 12Mwenye Haki huyajua yanayotendeka katika nyumba za waovu,
naye atawaangamiza waovu. 13Mtu akiziba masikio asisikie kilio cha maskini,
yeye pia atalia, wala hatajibiwa.
