10 Whoso causeth the|strong="H1870" upright|strong="H3477" to|strong="H1870" go|strong="H7686" astray|strong="H7686" in|strong="H3477" an|strong="H5157" evil|strong="H7451" way|strong="H1870", he|strong="H1931" shall|strong="H3477" fall|strong="H5307" himself|strong="H1931" into|strong="H5307" his|strong="H1931" own|strong="H5157" pit|strong="H7816": but|strong="H1870" the|strong="H1870" perfect|strong="H8549" shall|strong="H3477" inherit|strong="H5157" good|strong="H2896".
11 The|strong="H5869" rich|strong="H6223" man|strong="H2450" is|strong="H5869" wise|strong="H2450" in|strong="H2450" his|strong="H5869" own|strong="H5869" conceit|strong="H5869"; but the|strong="H5869" poor|strong="H1800" that|strong="H5869" hath|strong="H5869" understanding searcheth|strong="H2713" him|strong="H5869" out|strong="H2713".

18 Whoso walketh|strong="H1980" uprightly|strong="H8549" shall|strong="H8549" be|strong="H1870" delivered|strong="H3467": but|strong="H1870" he|strong="H1980" that|strong="H5307" is|strong="H1870" perverse|strong="H6140" in|strong="H1980" his ways|strong="H1870" shall|strong="H8549" fall|strong="H5307" at|strong="H5307" once|strong="H1980".
19 He that|strong="H3899" tilleth|strong="H5647" his|strong="H5647" land shall|strong="H7291" have|strong="H7646" plenty|strong="H7646" of|strong="H3899" bread|strong="H3899": but|strong="H7291" he that|strong="H3899" followeth|strong="H7291" after|strong="H7291" vain|strong="H7386" persons shall|strong="H7291" have|strong="H7646" poverty|strong="H7389" enough|strong="H7646".
20 A|strong="H3068" faithful man shall|strong="H3808" abound|strong="H7227" with|strong="H1293" blessings|strong="H1293": but|strong="H3808" he|strong="H3808" that|strong="H3808" maketh haste to|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" rich|strong="H6238" shall|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" unpunished|strong="H5352".
