10. Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good.
11. A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searcheth him.
12. In the exulting of the righteous the glory [is] abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.
13. Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.
14. O the happiness of a man fearing continually, And whoso is hardening his heart falleth into evil.
15. A growling lion, and a ranging bear, [Is] the wicked ruler over a poor people.
16. A leader lacking understanding multiplieth oppressions, Whoso is hating dishonest gain prolongeth days.
