1 ¹The wicked flee when no one pursues, but ²the righteous are bold as a lion.

2 When a land transgresses, ³it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue.

3 ⁴A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food.

4 Those who forsake the law ⁵praise the wicked, but those who keep the law ⁶strive against them.

5 Evil men ⁷do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD ⁸ understand it completely.

6 ⁹Better is a poor man who ¹⁰walks in his integrity than a rich man who is ¹¹crooked in his ways.

7 The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but ¹²a companion of gluttons shames his father.

8 Whoever multiplies his wealth ¹³by interest and profit^a ¹⁴gathers it for him who is ¹⁵generous to the poor.

9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his ¹⁶prayer is an abomination.

10 Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way ¹⁷will fall into his own pit, but the blameless ¹⁸will have a goodly inheritance.

11 A rich man is wise in his ¹⁹own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding ²⁰will find him out.

12 When ²¹the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when ²²the wicked rise, people hide themselves.

13 Whoever ²³conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who ²⁴confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
