16. The prince that lacks understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.
17. A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee to a pit; let no man help him.
18. Whosoever walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19. He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after worthless pursuits shall have poverty enough.
