17. Is a wolf ever allied with a lamb?So the sinner with the righteous.
18. Can there be peace between the hyena and the dog?Or peace between the rich and the poor?
19. Wild donkeys of the desert are lion’s prey;likewise the poor are feeding grounds for the rich.
20. Humility is an abomination to the proud;and the poor are an abomination to the rich.
21. When the rich stumble they are supported by friends;when the poor trip they are pushed down by friends.
