1
The wicked flee when no man pursueth; But the righteous are bold as a lion.
2
For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; But by men of understanding [and] knowledge the state [thereof] shall be prolonged.
3
A needy man that oppresseth the poor Is [like] a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4
They that forsake the law praise the wicked; But such as keep the law contend with them.
5
Evil men understand not justice; But they that seek Jehovah understand all things.
6
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in [his] ways, though he be rich.
7
Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son; But he that is a companion of gluttons shameth his father.
8
He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase, Gathereth it for him that hath pity on the poor.
9
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
10
Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit; But the perfect shall inherit good.
11
The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
