Terror and violence will lay waste riches; thus the house of the proud will be laid waste.

The prayer of a poor man goes from his lips to the ears of God, and his judgment comes speedily.
6
Whoever hates reproof walks in the steps of the sinner, but he that fears the Lord will repent in his heart.
