4 Those who forsake the law ¹praise the wicked, but those who keep the law ²strive against them.

5 Evil men ³do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD ⁴ understand it completely.

6 ⁵Better is a poor man who ⁶walks in his integrity than a rich man who is ⁷crooked in his ways.

7 The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but ⁸a companion of gluttons shames his father.

8 Whoever multiplies his wealth ⁹by interest and profit^a ¹⁰gathers it for him who is ¹¹generous to the poor.

9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his ¹²prayer is an abomination.

10 Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way ¹³will fall into his own pit, but the blameless ¹⁴will have a goodly inheritance.

11 A rich man is wise in his ¹⁵own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding ¹⁶will find him out.

12 When ¹⁷the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when ¹⁸the wicked rise, people hide themselves.

13 Whoever ¹⁹conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who ²⁰confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

14 Blessed is the one who ²¹fears the LORD always, but whoever ²²hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

15 Like ²³a roaring lion or ²⁴a charging bear is ²⁵a wicked ruler over a poor people.

16 A ruler who ²⁶lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.

17 If one is burdened with ²⁷the blood of another, he will be a fugitive until death;^b let no one help him.

18 ²⁸Whoever ²⁹walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.

19 ³⁰Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich ³¹will not go unpunished.

21 To show ³²partiality is not good, but for ³³a piece of bread a man will do wrong.

22 A ³⁴stingy man^c³⁵hastens after wealth and does not know that ³⁶poverty will come upon him.

23 Whoever ³⁷rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than ³⁸he who flatters with his tongue.

24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, "That is no transgression," is ³⁹a companion to a man who destroys.
