⁸ The ransom of a man’s life is his wealth,
But the poor hears no rebuke.

^16 (A)Better is a little with the ^[a]fear of Yahweh
Than great treasure and turmoil with it.

⁸ Better is a little with righteousness
Than great produce with injustice.

²⁷ He who ^(A)gives to the poor will never want,
But he who ^[a]shuts his eyes will have many curses.

⁷ The ^(A)righteous knows the cause of the poor,
The wicked does not understand that knowledge.

¹⁴ If a ^(A)king judges the poor with truth,
His ^(B)throne will be established forever.
