For the transgressionH6588 of a landH776 manyH7227 are the princesH8269 thereof: but by a manH120 of understandingH995 and knowledgeH3045 the stateH3651 thereof shall be prolongedH748. {by…: or, by men of understanding and wisdom shall they likewise be prolonged}
A poorH7326 manH1397 that oppressethH6231 the poorH1800 is like a sweepingH5502 rainH4306 which leaveth no foodH3899. {which…: Heb. without food}

BetterH2896 is the poorH7326 that walkethH1980 in his uprightnessH8537, than he that is perverseH6141 in his waysH1870, though he be richH6223.
Whoso keepethH5341 the lawH8451 is a wiseH995 sonH1121: but he that is a companionH7462 of riotousH2151 men shamethH3637 his fatherH1. {is a companion…: or, feedeth gluttons}
He that by usuryH5392 and unjust gainH8636 increasethH7235 his substanceH1952, he shall gatherH6908 it for him that will pityH2603 the poorH1800. {unjust…: Heb. by increase}
He that turneth awayH5493 his earH241 from hearingH8085 the lawH8451, even his prayerH8605 shall be abominationH8441.
Whoso causeth the righteousH3477 to go astrayH7686 in an evilH7451 wayH1870, he shall fallH5307 himself into his own pitH7816: but the uprightH8549 shall have goodH2896 things in possessionH5157.

When righteousH6662 men do rejoiceH5970, there is greatH7227 gloryH8597: but when the wickedH7563 riseH6965, a manH120 is hiddenH2664. {hidden: or, sought for}
He that coverethH3680 his sinsH6588 shall not prosperH6743: but whoso confessethH3034 and forsakethH5800 them shall have mercyH7355.
HappyH835 is the manH120 that fearethH6342 alwayH8548: but he that hardenethH7185 his heartH3820 shall fallH5307 into mischiefH7451.
As a roaringH5098 lionH738, and a rangingH8264 bearH1677; so is a wickedH7563 rulerH4910 over the poorH1800 peopleH5971.
The princeH5057 that wantethH2638 understandingH8394 is also a greatH7227 oppressorH4642: but he that hatethH8130 covetousnessH1215 shall prolongH748 his daysH3117.
A manH120 that doeth violenceH6231 to the bloodH1818 of any personH5315 shall fleeH5127 to the pitH953; let no man stayH8551 him.

He that tillethH5647 his landH127 shall have plentyH7646 of breadH3899: but he that followethH7291 after vainH7386 persons shall have poverty enoughH7389.
A faithfulH530 manH376 shall aboundH7227 with blessingsH1293: but he that maketh hasteH213 to be richH6238 shall not be innocentH5352. {innocent: or, unpunished}
To have respectH5234 of personsH6440 is not goodH2896: for for a pieceH6595 of breadH3899 that manH1397 will transgressH6586.
HeH376 that hastethH926 to be richH1952 hath an evilH7451 eyeH5869, and considerethH3045 not that povertyH2639 shall comeH935 upon him. {hasteth…: or, hath and evil eye hasteth to be rich}
He that rebukethH3198 a manH120 afterwardsH310 shall findH4672 more favourH2580 than he that flatterethH2505 with the tongueH3956.
Whoso robbethH1497 his fatherH1 or his motherH517, and saithH559, It is no transgressionH6588; the same is the companionH2270 of a destroyerH376+H7843. {a destroyer: Heb. a man destroying}
He that is of a proudH7342 heartH5315 stirreth upH1624 strifeH4066: but he that putteth his trustH982 in the LORDH3068 shall be made fatH1878.
He that trustethH982 in his own heartH3820 is a foolH3684: but whoso walkethH1980 wiselyH2451, he shall be deliveredH4422.
He that givethH5414 unto the poorH7326 shall not lackH4270: but he that hidethH5956 his eyesH5869 shall have manyH7227 a curseH3994.
When the wickedH7563 riseH6965, menH120 hideH5641 themselves: but when they perishH6, the righteousH6662 increaseH7235.
