8He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer abomination.
10Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good in possession.
11The rich man wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12When righteous do rejoice, great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh shall have mercy.
14Happy the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
