Context
17Mtu mwenye kusumbuliwa na hatia ya kuua
atakuwa mtoro mpaka kufa;
mtu yeyote na asimsaidie. 18Yeye ambaye mwenendo wake hauna lawama
hulindwa salama,
bali yeye ambaye njia zake ni potovu
ataanguka ghafula. 19Yeye alimaye shamba lake atakuwa na chakula tele,
bali yule afuataye mambo ya upuzi atakuwa na umaskini wa kumtosha. 20Mtu mwaminifu atabarikiwa sana,
bali yeye atamaniye kupata utajiri kwa haraka
hataacha kuadhibiwa. 21Kuonyesha upendeleo si vizuri,
hata hivyo mtu atafanya kosa kwa kipande cha mkate.
