10. Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit; But the perfect shall inherit good.
11. The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12. When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
13. He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.
14. Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
15. As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear, So is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16. The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor; But he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17. A man that is laden with the blood of any person Shall flee unto the pit; let no man stay him.
18. Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered; But he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19. He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20. A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.
21. To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.
