12 When the righteous exult, there is great comeliness; But when the wrong arise, a man is searched for.
13 He who hides his transgressions does not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them finds compassion.
14 Blessed is the man who always fears Elohim, But he who hardens his heart falls into evil.
15 A roaring lion and a charging bear Is a wrongdoing ruler over poor people.
16 A leader who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, But the hater of greed prolongs his days.
17 A man oppressed by blood-guilt flees into a pit; Let no one help him.
18 He who walks blamelessly is saved, But the perverted of ways falls at once.
