12 God is always fair!He knows what the wicked doand will punish them.
13 If you won't help the poor,don't expect to be heardwhen you cry out for help.
14 A secret bribe will save youfrom someone's fierce anger.
15 When justice is done,good citizens are gladand crooks are terrified.
16 If you stop using good sense,you will find yourselfin the grave.
17 Heavy drinkers and otherswho live only for pleasurewill lose all they have.
18 God's people will escape,but all who are wickedwill pay the price.
