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.
21He that reverences not the persons of the just is not good: such a one will sell a man for a morsel of bread.
22An envious man makes haste to be rich, and knows not that the merciful man will have the mastery over him.
23He that reproves a man's ways shall have more favor than he that flatters with the tongue.
