* The wicked flee when no man pursues : but the righteous are bold as a lion . * For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof : but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged . * A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food . * They that forsake the law praise the wicked : but such as keep the law contend with them . * Evil men understand not judgment : but they that seek the LORD understand all things . * Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness , than he that is perverse in his ways , though he be rich . * Whoever keeps the law is a wise son : but he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father . * He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance , he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor . * He that turns away his ear from hearing the law , even his prayer shall be abomination . * Whoever causes 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 that has understanding searches him out . * When righteous men do rejoice , there is great glory : but when the wicked rise , a man is hidden . * He that covers his sins shall not prosper : but whoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy . * Happy is the man that fears always : but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief . * As a roaring lion , and a ranging bear ; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people . * The prince that wants understanding is also a great oppressor : but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days . * A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit ; let no man stay him . * Whoever walks uprightly shall be saved : but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once . * He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread : but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough . * A faithful man shall abound with blessings : but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent . * To have respect of persons is not good : for for a piece of bread that man will transgress . * He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye , and considers not that poverty shall come on him . * He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favor than he that flatters with the tongue . * Whoever robs his father or his mother , and said , It is no transgression ; the same is the companion of a destroyer . * He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife : but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat . * He that trusts in his own heart is a fool : but whoever walks wisely , he shall be delivered . * He that gives to the poor shall not lack : but he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse . * When the wicked rise , men hide themselves : but when they perish , the righteous increase .
