2When the people of a nation sin, they will have one ruler after another; but when their leaders are wise and have good sense, their government will last for a long time.
3A poor person who oppresses other poor people is like MET a very heavy/hard rain that destroys the crops, with the result that there is no food for people to eat.
4Those who reject/disobey God's laws always speak well of wicked people; but those who obey God's laws always oppose what wicked people do.
5Evil people do not understand what it means to act justly, but those who try to obey/worship Yahweh understand that very well.
6It is better to be honest even though you are poor than to be dishonest even though you are rich.
