15
A roaring lion, and a ranging bear, is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16
The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor: he that hateth covetousness shall prolong [his] days.
17
A man laden with the blood of [any] person, fleeth to the pit: let no man stay him.
18
Whoso walketh in integrity shall be saved; but he that is perverted in [his] double ways, shall fall in one [of them].
19
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he that followeth the worthless shall have poverty enough.
20
A faithful man aboundeth with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21
To have respect of persons is not good; but for a piece of bread will a man transgress.
22
He that hath an evil eye hasteth after wealth, and knoweth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23
He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24
Whoso robbeth his father and his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25
He that is puffed up in soul exciteth contention; but he that relieth upon Jehovah shall be made fat.
