“The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves. He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy. Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. Asa roaring lion, and a ranging bear, So isa wicked ruler over a poor people. The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor; Buthe that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. A man that is laden with the blood of any person Shall flee unto the pit; let no man stay him. Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered; But he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished. To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread. He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him. He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue. Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, The same is the companion of a destroyer. He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase. ”

“The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him. When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves. He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble. As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people. A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days. A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until death; no one will support him. Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly. One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished. To show partiality is not good; yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread. A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn't know that poverty waits for him. One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue. Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It's not wrong." He is a partner with a destroyer. One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper. One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe. One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.”

“A rich person is wise in his own opinion, but a discerning poor person can evaluate him properly. When the righteous rejoice, great is the glory, but when the wicked rise to power, people are sought out. The one who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses them and forsakes them will find mercy. Blessed is the one who is always cautious, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into evil. Like a roaring lion or a roving bear, so is a wicked ruler over a poor people. The prince who is a great oppressor lacks wisdom, but the one who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. The one who is tormented by the murder of another will flee to the pit; let no one support him. The one who walks blamelessly will be delivered, but whoever is perverse in his ways will fall at once. The one who works his land will be satisfied with food, but whoever chases daydreams will have his fill of poverty. A faithful person will have an abundance of blessings, but the one who hastens to gain riches will not go unpunished. To show partiality is terrible, for a person will transgress over the smallest piece of bread. The stingy person hastens after riches and does not know that poverty will overtake him. The one who reproves another will in the end find more favor than the one who flatters with the tongue. The one who robs his father and mother and says,“There is no transgression,” is a companion to the one who destroys. The greedy person stirs up dissension, but the one who trusts in the LORD will prosper. The one who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but the one who walks in wisdom will escape. The one who gives to the poor will not lack, but whoever shuts his eyes to them will receive many curses. When the wicked gain control, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.”

“The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor man that is prudent shall search him out. In the joy of the just there is great glory: when the wicked reign, men are ruined. He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy. Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind shall fall into evil. As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people. A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days. A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him. He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways, shall fall at once. He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness, shall be filled with poverty. A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent. He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth. A man that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him. He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him. He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer. He that boasteth and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed. He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved. He that giveth to the poor shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence. When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the just shall be multiplied. ”

“The man of wealth seems to himself to be wise, but the poor man who has sense has a low opinion of him. When the upright do well, there is great glory; but when evil-doers are lifted up, men do not let themselves be seen. He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy. Happy is the man in whom is the fear of the Lord at all times; but he whose heart is hard will come into trouble. Like a loud-voiced lion and a wandering bear, is an evil ruler over a poor people. The prince who has no sense is a cruel ruler; but he who has no desire to get profit for himself will have long life. One who has been the cause of a man's death will go in flight to the underworld: let no man give him help. He whose ways are upright will be safe, but sudden will be the fall of him whose ways are twisted. By ploughing his land a man will have bread in full measure; but he who goes after good-for-nothing persons will be poor enough. A man of good faith will have great blessing, but one attempting to get wealth quickly will not go free from punishment. It is not good to have respect for a man's position: for a man will do wrong for a bit of bread. He who is ever desiring wealth goes running after money, and does not see that need will come on him. He who says words of protest to a man will later have more approval than one who says smooth words with his tongue. He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life. He who is ever desiring profit is a cause of fighting; but he who puts his faith in the Lord will be made fat. He whose faith is in himself is foolish; but everyone walking wisely will be kept safe. He who gives to the poor will never be in need, but great curses will be on him who gives no attention to them. When evil-doers are lifted up, men take cover; but when destruction overtakes them, the upright are increased.”

“The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth 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 wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh 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 hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase. ”
