A roaring lion, and a ranging bear, is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16
The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor: he that hateth covetousness shall prolong [his] days.
17
A man laden with the blood of [any] person, fleeth to the pit: let no man stay him.
18
Whoso walketh in integrity shall be saved; but he that is perverted in [his] double ways, shall fall in one [of them].
19
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he that followeth the worthless shall have poverty enough.
20
A faithful man aboundeth with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21
To have respect of persons is not good; but for a piece of bread will a man transgress.
22
He that hath an evil eye hasteth after wealth, and knoweth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23
He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
