He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but he who confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoever walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

He that giveth to the poor shall not want: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

He that rebuketh a man afterward shall find more favor than he that flattereth with the tongue.

He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

For the transgression of a land many are its princes: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

Happy is the man that feareth always: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he is rich.

He who keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

He who walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

Whoever causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor man that hath understanding searcheth him out.

To have respect of persons is not good: for, for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

He that robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

When righteous men rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
