14. Happy is the man that is reverent always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into calamity.
15. As a roaring lion, and a charging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
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.
20. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not go unpunished.
21. To show partiality is not good: because for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
22. He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.
