¹⁵ The ^(A)rich person’s wealth is his ^[a]fortress,
The ^(B)ruin of the poor is their poverty.

²⁰ The ^(A)poor is hated even by his neighbor,
But those who love the rich are many.

¹¹ A ^(A)rich person’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination.

²³ A ^(A)poor person utters pleadings,
But a ^(B)rich person ^(C)answers defiantly.

² The rich and the poor ^[a]have a common bond,
The Lord is the ^(A)Maker of them all.
