9When one turneth away his ear so as not to listen to the law, even his prayer becometh an abomination.
10Whoso causeth the upright to go astray on an evil way, will surely fall into his own ditch; but the men of integrity will inherit what is good.
11The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the indigent that hath understanding can search him through.
12When the righteous exult, there is great splendor; but when the wicked rise up, a man hath to be sought for.
13He that concealeth his transgressions will not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them will obtain mercy.
14Happy is the man that always dreadeth to do evil; but he that hardeneth his heart will fall into unhappiness.
