but the righteous is bold like a lion.
2  but by a person of intelligence who knows justice, it will last.
3 who is poor and oppresses the impoverished is a beating rain[fn] no food.
4  but they who guard instruction will struggle against them.
5  but seekers of Yahweh understand completely.[fn]
6 to be poor and walking in one’s integrity than to be crooked of ways when one is rich.
7 is a child of understanding, but the companion of gluttons will shame his father.
8  gathers it for him who is kind to the poor.
9  even his prayer is an abomination.
10  into his pits he will fall.
But as for the blameless, they will inherit good.

12 is the glory, but with the rising of the wicked, a person will be hidden.
13  but he who confesses and forsakes will obtain mercy.
14  but he who is stubborn of heart,[fn] will fall into calamity.

17 the blood of[fn] until death he will flee;
do not take hold of him.
18  but he who takes crooked paths will fall in one.
19  but he who follows fantasies will have plenty of poverty.

25 [fn] will stir up strife, but he who trusts in Yahweh will be enriched.
26 [fn] is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be saved.
27 For he who gives to the poor, there is no lacking, but for he[fn] who turns his eyes, there are many curses.
