16
The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor; [But] he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17
A man that is laden with the blood of any person Shall flee unto the pit; Let no man stay him.
18
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered; But he that is perverse in [his] ways shall fall at once.
19
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain [persons] shall have poverty enough.
20
A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.
21
To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.
22
he that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
23
He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24
Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, The same is the companion of a destroyer.
25
He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.
26
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
