16. A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding, But he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.
17. A man who is laden with the guilt of human blood Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him.
18. He who walks blamelessly will be delivered, But he who is crooked will fall all at once.
19. He who tills his land will have plenty of food, But he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty.
20. A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
