What's gained by violent sinners, like a dog they come to each house wrathfully.
So the covetous comes, increasing strife to all the inhabitants.
The ambush of the gossiper is like a bear to the house of scorners, and like a spy he searches for licentiousness.
From good to bad will he turn your crowds, and on your precious things he will conspire.
From a spark of fire coals are multiplied, and a sinful person lies in ambush for blood.
Be a stranger to evil, for evil births, why an eternal blemish carry.
