¹ THE wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

² For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

³ A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.

⁴ They that forsake the Torah praise the wicked: but such as guard the Torah contend with them.

⁵ Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek Yahuah understand all things.

⁶ Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

⁷ Whoso keeps the Torah is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father.

⁸ He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

⁹ He that turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer shall be abomination.

¹⁰ Whoso causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the yashariym shall have good things in possession.

¹¹ The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that has understanding searches him out.

¹² When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

¹³ He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.

¹⁴ Happy is the man that fears always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.

¹⁵ As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

¹⁶ The prince that lacks understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.

¹⁷ A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

¹⁸ Whoso walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

¹⁹ He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

²⁰ A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

²¹ To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

²² He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.

²³ He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favor than he that flatters with the tongue.

²⁴ Whoso robs his father or his mother, and says, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

²⁵ He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife: but he that puts his trust in Yahuah shall be made fat.

²⁶ He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walks wisely, he shall be delivered.

²⁷ He that gives unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse.

²⁸ When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
