16 The prince who is a great oppressor lacks wisdom,but the one who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.
17 The one who is tormented by the murder of another will flee to the pit; let no one support him.
18 The one who walks blamelessly will be delivered,but whoever is perverse in his ways will fall at once.
19 The one who works his land will be satisfied with food,but whoever chases daydreams will have his fill of poverty.
20 A faithful person will have an abundance of blessings,but the one who hastens to gain riches will not go unpunished.
21 To show partiality is terrible,for a person will transgress over the smallest piece of bread.
22 The stingy person hastens after richesand does not know that poverty will overtake him.
