Proverbs 13:23

New International Version

²³An unplowed field produces food for the poor,
but injustice sweeps it away.

Proverbs 13:23

King James Version

²³Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.

¹⁶One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

¹⁶He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

³A ruler^[a] who oppresses the poor
is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.

³A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

¹⁵Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.

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

New International Version (NIV)
