1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident. 2 By the transgression of a land many [are] its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right—it is prolonged. 3 A man—poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping rain, and there is no bread. 4 Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them. 5 Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all. 6 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich. 7 Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush. 8 Whoso is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, For one favouring the poor doth gather it. 9 Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer [is] an abomination. 10 Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good. 11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searcheth him. 12 In the exulting of the righteous the glory [is] abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive. 13 Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy. 14 O the happiness of a man fearing continually, And whoso is hardening his heart falleth into evil. 15 A growling lion, and a ranging bear, [Is] the wicked ruler over a poor people. 16 A leader lacking understanding multiplieth oppressions, Whoso is hating dishonest gain prolongeth days. |
