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 the princes thereof; But by men of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3. A needy 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 justice; But they that seek Jehovah understand all things.
6. Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
