11 A rich man may think he is wise.But a poor man who has understanding knows the rich man is wrong.
12 When good people win, there is great happiness.But when the wicked get power, everybody hides.
13 If you hide your sins, you will not succeed.If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy.
14 Those who always respect the Lord will be happy.But those who are stubborn will get into trouble.
15 A wicked ruler is as dangerous to poor peopleas a roaring lion or a charging bear.
16 A ruler who is cruel does not have wisdom.But the one who hates money taken dishonestly will live a long time.
17 A man who is guilty of murderwill run until he dies.So do not stop him.
