18 Whoever walks blamelessly is safe,but one whose ways are crooked falls into a pit.
19 Those who cultivate their land will have plenty of food,but those who engage in idle pursuits will have plenty of want.
20 The trustworthy will be richly blessed;but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 To show partiality is never good:for even a morsel of bread one may do wrong.
22 Misers hurry toward wealth,not knowing that want is coming toward them.
23 Whoever rebukes another wins more favorthan one who flatters with the tongue.
24 Whoever defrauds father or mother and says, “It is no sin,”is a partner to a brigand.
