15 A wicked ruler is as dangerous to the pooras a roaring lion or an attacking bear.
16 A ruler with no understanding will oppress his people,but one who hates corruption will have a long life.
17 A murderer’s tormented conscience will drive him into the grave.Don’t protect him!
18 The blameless will be rescued from harm,but the crooked will be suddenly destroyed.
19 A hard worker has plenty of food,but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.
20 The trustworthy person will get a rich reward,but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.
21 Showing partiality is never good,yet some will do wrong for a mere piece of bread.
