16 A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long 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.
