11
The rich man is wise in his own conceit, but the poor man that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12
When righteous men rejoice, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
14
Happy is the man that feareth God always, but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil.
15
As a roaring lion and a ranging bear, so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
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.
