¹⁸ The belly will eat any meat; Yet is one meat better than another.

¹⁹ [22]The [23]mouth tasteth meats taken in hunting: So doth an understanding heart false speeches.

²⁰ A froward heart will cause heaviness: [24]And a man of experience will recompense him.

²⁵ [29]Where no hedge is, the possession will be laid waste: And he that hath no wife will mourn as he wandereth up and down.

²⁶ For who will trust a nimble robber, that skippeth from city to city? Even so who shall trust a man [30]that hath no nest, and lodgeth wheresoever he findeth himself at nightfall?
