1. The wrong shall flee though no one pursues, But the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2. Because of transgression of a land, Many are its rulers; But by a man of understanding and knowledge, Right is maintained.
3. A poor man who oppresses the poor Is like a sweeping rain that leaves no food.
4. Those who forsake the Torah praise the wrong, Those who guard the Torah strive with them.
5. Evil men do not understand right-ruling, But those who seek יהוה understand all.
6. Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one perverse in his ways, who is rich.
