13
He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.
14
Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
15
[As] a roaring lion, and a ranging bear, [So is] a wicked ruler over a 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 is laden with the blood of any person Shall flee unto the pit; Let no man stay him.
18
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered; 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 unpunished.
21
To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.
22
he that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
23
He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.
