16
The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor, but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17
A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved, 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 innocent.
21
To have respect of persons is not good, for that man will transgress for a piece of bread.
22
He that hasteneth to be rich hath an evil eye and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23
He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favor than he that flattereth with his 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 proud heart stirreth up strife, but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall prosper.
26
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool, but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
