7The rich ruleth over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.
8He who soweth iniquity shall reap calamity, And the rod of his punishment is prepared.
9He who hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed, Because he giveth of his bread to the poor.
10Cast out the scoffer, and contention will go out; Yea, strife and reproach will cease.
11He who loveth purity of heart, Grace is upon his lips, and the king will be his friend.
12The eyes of the LORD watch over knowledge; But he overthroweth the words of the treacherous.
13The slothful man saith, “There is a lion without; I shall be slain in the streets.”
