⁷ The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

⁸ A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

⁹ He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

³ When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

26 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
