NHEB(i)
14 Blessed is the man who is always reverent; but the one who hardens his heart will fall into evil.
15 As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
16 A prince who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but one who hates ill-gotten gain will prolong his 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.
22 A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn't know that poverty waits for him.
23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It's not wrong." He is a partner with a destroyer.
25 One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
26 One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
27 One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
