4. For truly my words are without any falsehood and perfect knowledge will be proven to you.
5. God does not abandon the powerful, for he himself is also powerful.
6. But he does not save the impious, though he grants judgment to the poor.
7. He will not take his eyes away from the just, and he continually establishes kings on their throne, and they are exalted.
8. And, if they are in captivity, or are bound with the chains of poverty,
9. he will reveal to them their works, as well as their sinfulness, in that they were violent.
10. Likewise, he will open their ears to his correction, and he will speak to them, so that they may return from iniquity.
11. If they listen and obey, they will fill their days with goodness and complete their years in glory.
12. But if they will not listen, they will pass away by the sword and will be consumed by foolishness.
13. The false and the crafty provoke the wrath of God, yet they do not cry out to him when they are chained.
14. Their soul will die in a storm, and their life, among the unmanly.
15. He will rescue the poor from his anguish, and he will open his ear during tribulation.
16. Therefore, he will save you from the narrow mouth very widely, even though it has no foundation under it. Moreover, your respite at table will be full of fatness.
17. Your case has been judged like that of the impious; you will withdraw your plea and your judgment.
18. Therefore, do not let anger overwhelm you so that you oppress another; neither should you allow a multitude of gifts to influence you.
19. Lay down your greatness without distress, and put aside all of your power with courage.
20. Do not prolong the night, even if people rise on their behalf.
