7The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender.
8He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
9He who has a generous eye will be blessed; for he shares his food with the poor.
10Divorce the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
11He who 'ahav ·affectionately loves· purity of heart and speaks chen ·gracefully· is the king’s friend.
12Adonai ’s eyes watch over knowledge; but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!”
