7 Make yourself a friend to the congregation of the poor, and humble your soul before an elder, and humble your head before the great.
8 Turn your ear without sadness toward the poor, and repay your debt, and respond to him peacefully in meekness.
9 Free him who suffers injury at the hand of the arrogant, and do not carry animosity in your soul.
10 In judging, be merciful to the orphan, like a father, and be merciful to their mother, like a husband.
11 And then you shall be like an obedient son of the Most High, and he will take pity on you more than a mother would.
12 Wisdom breathes life into her sons, and she lifts up those who are seeking her, and she will precede them in the way of justice.
13 And he who loves her loves life. And those who watch for her shall embrace her delights.
