11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
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.
