If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,
    even his (A)prayer is an abomination.
10 Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way
    (B)will fall into his own pit,
    but the blameless (C)will have a goodly inheritance.
11 A rich man is wise in his (D)own eyes,
    but a poor man who has understanding (E)will find him out.
12 When (F)the righteous triumph, there is great glory,
    but when (G)the wicked rise, people hide themselves.
13 Whoever (H)conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
    but he who (I)confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
14 Blessed is the one who (J)fears the Lord[a] always,
    but whoever (K)hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
