¹⁵ The ^(A)rich man’s wealth is his strong city;
The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

⁸ The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
But the poor does not hear rebuke.

^16 (A)Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble.

^8 (A)Better is a little with righteousness,
Than vast revenues without justice.

^27 (A)He who gives to the poor will not lack,
But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.

⁷ The righteous ^(A)considers the cause of the poor,
But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.

¹⁴ The king who judges the ^(A)poor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.
