17 Un homme chargé du sang d’un autre Fuit jusqu’à la fosse: qu’on ne l’arrête pas!
18 Celui qui marche dans l’intégrité trouve le salut, Mais celui qui suit deux voies tortueuses tombe dans l’une d’elles.
19 Celui qui cultive son champ est rassasié de pain, Mais celui qui poursuit des choses vaines est rassasié de pauvreté.

21 Il n’est pas bon d’avoir égard aux personnes, Et pour un morceau de pain un homme se livre au péché.
