16
A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.
17
A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.
18
He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways, shall fall at once.
19
He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness, shall be filled with poverty.
20
A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.
21
He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.
22
A man that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him.
23
He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.
24
He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.
26
He that boasteth and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed. He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.
