15As a roaring lyon and a ranging beare: so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people. 16The prince that wanteth vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but he that hateth couetousnesse, shall prolong his dayes. 17A man that doth violence to the blood of any person, shall flie to the pit, let no man stay him. 18Whoso walketh vprightly, shall be saued: but he that is peruerse in his wayes, shall fall at once. 19He that tilleth his land, shal haue plentie of bread: but he that followeth after vaine persons, shall haue pouerty enough.
