- 1 The wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
- 2 Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes; but by a man of understanding and knowledge the stability of it will be prolonged.
- 3 A poor man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no food.
- 4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.
- 5 Evil men do not understand judgment, but those who seek the Lord understand all things.
- 6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
- 7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son, but a companion of the reckless shames his father.
- 8 He who increases his possessions by usury and unrighteous gain, he will gather it for him who will pity the poor.
- 9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer wiil be an abomination.
- 10 Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he himself will fall into his own pit; but the blameless will have good things in his possession.
- 11 The rich man is wise in his own imagination, but the poor who has understanding searches him out.
- 12 When the righteous men rejoice, there is great glory; but when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.
- 13 He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
- 14 Happy is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart will fall into harm.
- 15 Like a roaring lion and a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over poor people.
- 16 A ruler who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor, but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.
