²² Rob not the poor, because he is poor:
neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
²³ for the Lord will plead their cause,
and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

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

⁶ Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness,
than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

⁷ The righteous considereth the cause of the poor:
but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
