12 Mercilessly they will make you a laughingstock,and will not refrain from injury or chains.
13 Be on your guard and take carenever to accompany lawless people.
15 Every living thing loves its own kind,and we all love someone like ourselves.
16 Every living being keeps close to its own kind;and people associate with their own kind.
17 Is a wolf ever allied with a lamb?So the sinner with the righteous.
18 Can there be peace between the hyena and the dog?Or peace between the rich and the poor?
19 Wild donkeys of the desert are lion’s prey;likewise the poor are feeding grounds for the rich.
