1 A wicked person flees when no one is chasing him, but righteous people are as bold as lions.
2 When a country is in revolt, it has many rulers, but only with a person who has understanding and knowledge will it last a long time.
3 A poor person who oppresses poorer people is like a driving rain that leaves no food.
4 Those who abandon [God's] teachings praise wicked people, but those who follow [God's] teachings oppose wicked people.
5 Evil people do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand everything.
6 Better to be a poor person who has integrity than to be rich and double-dealing.
7 Whoever follows [God's] teachings is a wise son. Whoever associates with gluttons disgraces his father.
8 Whoever becomes wealthy through [unfair] loans and interest collects them for the one who is kind to the poor.
