8He that gathereth together riches by usuries, and free increases, gathereth those or them together against poor men.
9His prayer shall be made cursed, that boweth away his ear, that he hear not the law.
10He that deceiveth just or rightwise men in an evil way, shall fall in his perishing; and just or rightwise men shall wield his goods.
11A rich man seemeth wise to himself; but a poor man prudent shall search him out or know his counsel.
12In the enhancing of just or rightwise men is much glory; when wicked men reign, fallings of men be.
13He that hideth his great trespasses, shall not be made rightful; but he that acknowledgeth and forsaketh them, shall get mercy.
14Blessed is the man, which is ever dreadful; but he that is of hard heart, shall fall into evil.
15A roaring lion, and an hungry bear, is a wicked prince on a poor people.
16A duke needy of prudence shall oppress many men by false challenge; but the days of him that hateth avarice shall be made long.
17No man sustain a man that falsely challengeth the blood of a man, if he fleeth till to the pit.
18He that goeth simply shall be safe; he that goeth by wayward ways, shall fall down at once.
19He that worketh his land, shall be filled with loaves; he that pursueth or followeth idleness, shall be filled with neediness.
20A faithful man shall be praised much; but he that hasteth to be made rich, shall not be innocent.
