- 1The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.
- 2By the transgression of a land many `are' its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right -- it is prolonged.
- 3A man -- poor and oppressing the weak, `Is' a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.
- 4Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them.
- 5Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all.
- 6Better `is' the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
- 7Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush.
- 8Whoso is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, For one favouring the poor doth gather it.
- 9Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer `is' an abomination.
- 10Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good.

- 17A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Unto the pit fleeth, none taketh hold on him.
- 18Whoso is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falleth at once.
- 19Whoso is tilling his ground is satisfied `with' bread, And whoso is pursuing vanity, Is filled `with' poverty.
- 20A stedfast man hath multiplied blessings, And whoso is hasting to be rich is not acquitted.
- 21To discern faces is not good, And for a piece of bread doth a man transgress.

- 23Whoso is reproving a man afterwards findeth grace, More than a flatterer with the tongue.
- 24Whoso is robbing his father, or his mother, And is saying, `It is not transgression,' A companion he is to a destroyer.
- 25Whoso is proud in soul stirreth up contention, And whoso is trusting on Jehovah is made fat.
- 26Whoso is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoso is walking in wisdom is delivered.
- 27Whoso is giving to the poor hath no lack, And whoso is hiding his eyes multiplied curses.
- 28In the rising of the wicked a man is hidden, And in their destruction the righteous multiply!
