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.
20
The man of truth shall abound with blessings, but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be absolved.
21
To have respect of persons
in judgment is not good; even for a piece of bread, man will transgress.
22
He that hastens to be rich
has an evil eye and does not consider that poverty shall come upon him.
23
He that rebukes a man, afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.
24
Whosoever robs his father or his mother and says,
It is no transgression; the same
is the companion of the destroyer.
25
He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife, but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
26
He that trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whosoever walks in wisdom, he shall be saved.
27
He that gives unto the poor shall never lack, but he that hides his eyes
from the poor shall have many a curse.
