9
He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer
shall be abomination.
10
Whosoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit, but the perfect shall inherit
every good
thing.
11
The rich man
is wise in his own conceit, but the poor that has understanding is wiser than he.
12
When the righteous rejoice,
there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, the sane man hides himself.
13
He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whosoever confesses and forsakes
them shall attain mercy.
14
Blessed
is the man that fears
God always, but he that hardens his heart shall fall into evil.
15
As a roaring lion and a hungry bear,
so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16
The prince void of intelligence
is also a great oppressor,
but he that hates covetousness shall prolong
his days.
17
A man that does violence to the blood of
any person shall flee all the way to the grave, and no one shall sustain him.
18
Whosoever walks in integrity shall be saved, but
he that is perverse
in his ways shall fall into one of them.
19
He that tills his land shall be filled with bread, but he that follows after vain
persons shall be filled with poverty.
