12 The Righteous One observeth the house of the lawless,—He is ready to cast down lawless men into misfortune.
13 He that shutteth his ear from the cry of the poor, even he, shall call, and not be answered.
14 A gift in secret, quencheth anger, and, a present in the bosom, mighty wrath.
15 It is a joy, to a righteous man, to do justice, but, dismay, to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man who wandereth from the way of discretion, in the gathered host of the shades, shall settle down.
17 A needy man, shall he be that loveth merriment, the lover of wine and oil, shall not become rich.
18 A ransom for the righteous, is the lawless, and, instead of upright men, the traitor.
