21. To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.
22. he that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
23. He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.
24. Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, The same is the companion of a destroyer.
25. He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.
26. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
