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.
18 Innocent people will be kept safe.But those who are dishonest will suddenly be ruined.
19 The person who works his land will have plenty of food.But the one who chases useless dreams instead will end up very poor.
