¹⁵ The rich man’s wealth is his strong city:
    the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

²⁴ There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;
    and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat:
    and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

²⁶ He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him:
    but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

²³ Much food is in the tillage of the poor:
    but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.

²⁵ The Lord will destroy the house of the proud:
    but he will establish the border of the widow.

⁵ Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker:
    and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
