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.
