Proverbs 28:15-20

¹⁵A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf is he, who, being poor, rules over a poor nation.

¹⁶A king in need of revenues is a great oppressor: but he that hates injustice shall live a long time.

¹⁷He that becomes surety for a man charged with murder shall be an exile, and not in safety. Chasten your son, and he shall love you, and give honor to your soul: he shall not obey a sinful nation.

¹⁸He that walks justly is assisted: but he that walks in crooked ways shall be entangled therein.

¹⁹He that tills his own land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that follows idleness shall have plenty of poverty.

²⁰A man worthy of credit shall be much blessed: but the wicked shall not be unpunished.
