In context

15Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.

16A leader who lacks judgment is also a great oppressor, but he who hates dishonest profit will prolong his days.

17A man burdened by bloodguilt will flee into the Pit; let no one support him.

18He who walks with integrity will be kept safe, but whoever is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.

19The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
