3
A poor man that oppresses the poor
is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.
4
Those that forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.
5
Evil men do not understand judgment, but those that seek the LORD understand all
things.
6
Better
is the poor that walks in his perfection than
he that is perverse
in his ways, though he
is rich.
7
Whosoever keeps the law
is a wise son, but he that is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8
He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9
He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer
shall be abomination.
10
Whosoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit, but the perfect shall inherit
every good
thing.
11
The rich man
is wise in his own conceit, but the poor that has understanding is wiser than he.
12
When the righteous rejoice,
there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, the sane man hides himself.
13
He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whosoever confesses and forsakes
them shall attain mercy.
