11. A rich man is wise in his own eyes,but a poor man who has understanding will find him out.
12. When the righteous triumph, there is great glory,but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves.
13. Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
14. Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always,but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
15. Like a roaring lion or a charging bearis a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16. A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor,but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.
