1. The wrong shall flee though no one pursues, But the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2. Because of transgression of a land, Many are its rulers; But by a man of understanding and knowledge, Right is maintained.
3. A poor man who oppresses the poor Is like a sweeping rain that leaves no food.
4. Those who forsake the Torah praise the wrong, Those who guard the Torah strive with them.
5. Evil men do not understand right-ruling, But those who seek יהוה understand all.
6. Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one perverse in his ways, who is rich.
7. He who watches over the Torah is a discerning son, But a companion of gluttons shames his father.
