lowly meditates wisdom.

regret: but the destruction of the ungodly is speedy, and
causes joy.

but ungodliness encounters unjust dealing.

boast of the ungodly perishes.

A righteous man escapes
from a snare, and the ungodly man is delivered up in his

citizens: but the understanding of righteous men is

fellow citizens: but a sensible man is quiet.
