14. Blessed is the man who always fears;but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
15. As a roaring lion or a charging bear,so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
16. A tyrannical ruler lacks judgement.One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
17. A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until death;no one will support him.
18. Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe;but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
19. One who works his land will have an abundance of food;but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
20. A faithful man is rich with blessings;but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
21. To show partiality is not good;yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
