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

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

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

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