Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good [things] in possession.
The rich man [is] wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
When righteous [men] do rejoice, [there is] great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy.
Happy [is] the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
[As] a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; [so is] a wicked ruler over the poor people.
The prince that wanteth understanding [is] also a great oppressor: [but] he that hateth covetousness shall prolong [his] days.
A man that doeth violence to the blood of [any] person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but [he that is] perverse [in his] ways shall fall at once.
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain [persons] shall have poverty enough.
