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] its princes: but by a man of understanding [and] knowledge the state [thereof] shall be prolonged.
3
A poor 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 judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all [things].
6
Better [is] the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than [he that is] perverse [in his] ways, though he [is] rich.
7
He who keepeth the law [is] a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous [men] shameth his father.
8
He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
