²³ An abundance of food is in poor people’s fields,
    but injustice sweeps it away.

³¹ He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker,
    but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are wretched,
    but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.

⁸ Better is a little with righteousness,
    than great revenues with injustice.

¹⁶ Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich,
    both come to poverty.

⁷ The righteous care about justice for the poor.
    The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.

³ A needy man who oppresses the poor
    is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.

¹³ The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
    Yahweh gives sight to the eyes of both.
