11The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor man, who hath understanding, will search him through.
12When the righteous rejoice, there is great glorying; But, when the wicked are exalted, men hide themselves.
13He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; But he that confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
14Happy the man who feareth always! But he who hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
15As a roaring lion and a hungry bear, So is a wicked ruler over a needy people.
16The prince who is weak in understanding is great in oppression; But he who hateth unjust gain shall prolong his days.
17A man who is burdened with life-blood—Let him flee to the pit! let no man stay him!
18He who walketh uprightly shall be safe; But he who is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
