7The rapine of the wicked shall snatch them away, Because they refuse to do justice.
8The way of the guilty man is crooked; But he that is pure, his doings are right.
9Better is it to dwell in a corner of the housetop Than with a brawling woman in a large house.
10The soul of the wicked longeth to do evil; His neighbor findeth no compassion in his eyes.
11When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; When the wise man is taught, he receiveth knowledge.
12The righteous man hath regard to the house of the wicked; He casteth the wicked headlong into ruin.
13Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry aloud, but shall not be heard.
