- The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
- For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
- A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
- They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
- Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

- The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
- When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order.
- A ruler who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.
- Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law resist them.
- Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.

- Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
- Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
- He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
- He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
|
- Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse.
- He who keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.
- He who increases his wealth by exorbitant interest amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.
- If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable.
