9He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
10Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit; but the whole-hearted shall inherit good.
11The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him through.
12When the righteous exult, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men must be sought for.
13He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.
14Happy is the man that feareth alway; but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil.
15As a roaring lion, and a ravenous bear; so is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor; but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17A man that is laden with the blood of any person shall hasten his steps unto the pit; none will support him.
18Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved; but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things shall have poverty enough.
20A faithful man shall abound with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.
21To have respect of persons is not good; for a man will transgress for a piece of bread.
22He that hath an evil eye hasteneth after riches, and knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
23He that rebuketh a man shall in the end find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith: 'It is no transgression', the same is the companion of a destroyer.
