10Anyone causing the upright to go wandering in an evil way, will himself go down into the hole he has made; but the upright will have good things for their heritage.
11The man of wealth seems to himself to be wise, but the poor man who has sense has a low opinion of him.
12When the upright do well, there is great glory; but when evil-doers are lifted up, men do not let themselves be seen.
13He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy.
14Happy is the man in whom is the fear of the Lord at all times; but he whose heart is hard will come into trouble.
15Like a loud-voiced lion and a wandering bear, is an evil ruler over a poor people.
16The prince who has no sense is a cruel ruler; but he who has no desire to get profit for himself will have long life.
