1The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
3A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
4Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.
5Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.
6Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
