16He is oppressing the poor to multiply to him, He is giving to the rich — only to want.
17Incline thine ear, and hear words of the wise, And thy heart set to my knowledge,
18For they are pleasant when thou dost keep them in thy heart, They are prepared together for thy lips.
19That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I caused thee to know to-day, even thou.
20Have I not written to thee three times With counsels and knowledge?
21To cause thee to know the certainty of sayings of truth, To return sayings of truth to those sending thee.
22Rob not the poor because he is poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate.
23For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.
24Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,
25Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to thy soul.
26Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties for burdens.
