^23 (A)Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor,
But ^[a]it is swept away by injustice.

³¹ He ^(A)who oppresses the poor taunts ^(B)his Maker,
But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.

¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are bad,
But a ^[a]cheerful heart has a continual feast.

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

¹⁶ He ^(A)who oppresses the poor to make ^[a]more for himself
Or who gives to the rich, ^(B)will only come to poverty.
