2For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long.
3A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.
4They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them.
5Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.
6Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.
