10Those who murder others hate people who ◄are honest/always do what is right►, but righteous people try to protect them.
11People who are wise are patient and restrain/control themselves when they are angry, but foolish people ◄quickly show others that they are very angry/do not restrain themselves at all►.
12If a ruler ◄pays attention to/believes► people who tell lies, all his officials will also become wicked.
13There is one thing that is true about both poor people and those who oppress them: Yahweh enables all of them to see.
