When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment.
One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
A man who is tormented by blood guilt will be a fugitive until death.
No one will support him.
Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
