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.
21 To have respect of persons is not good: neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.
22 He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, and knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
