13 Whoever hides his crimes will not be guided. But whoever will have confessed and abandoned them shall overtake mercy.
14 Blessed is the man who is ever fearful. Yet truly, whoever is hardened in mind will fall into evil.
15 An impious leader over a poor people is like a roaring lion and a hungry bear.
16 A leader destitute of prudence will oppress many through false accusations. But whoever hates avarice shall prolong his days.
17 A man who slanders the blood of a life, even if he flees to the pit, no one will tolerate him.
