1 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.
2 By the transgression of a land many are its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right--it is prolonged.
3 A man--poor and oppressing the weak, Is a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.
4 Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them.
5 Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all.
6 Better is the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
7 Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush.
