15
Every creature loves its like, and every person his neighbor;
16
all living beings associate by species, and a man clings to one like himself.
17
What fellowship has a wolf with a lamb? No more has a sinner with a godly man.
18
What peace is there between a hyena and a dog? And what peace between a rich man and a poor man?
19
Wild asses in the wilderness are the prey of lions; likewise the poor are pastures for the rich.
