12
When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
13
He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
14
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD always; but he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
15
Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16
A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor; but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.
17
If a man is burdened with the blood of another, let him be a fugitive until death; let no one help him.
18
He who walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is perverse in his ways will fall into a pit.
19
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
20
A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
21
To show partiality is not good; but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.
22
A miserly man hastens after wealth, and does not know that want will come upon him.
