17A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Unto the pit fleeth, none taketh hold on him.
18Whoso is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falleth at once.
19Whoso is tilling his ground is satisfied with bread, And whoso is pursuing vanity, Is filled with poverty.
20A stedfast man hath multiplied blessings, And whoso is hasting to be rich is not acquitted.
21To discern faces is not good, And for a piece of bread doth a man transgress.
22Troubled for wealth is the man with an evil eye, And he knoweth not that want doth meet him.
23Whoso is reproving a man afterwards findeth grace, More than a flatterer with the tongue.
