²² Rob not the poor because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted at the gate;

²³ for the Lord will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoiled 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.

¹³ The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lighteneth their eyes.
