7 The rich rule over the poor,and the borrower is the slave of the lender.
8 Those who sow iniquity reap calamity,and the rod used in anger will fail.
9 The generous will be blessed,for they share their food with the poor.
10 Expel the arrogant and discord goes too;strife and insult cease.
11 The Lord loves the pure of heart;the person of winning speech has a king for a friend.
12 The eyes of the Lord watch over the knowledgeable,but he defeats the projects of the faithless.
13 The sluggard says, “A lion is outside;I might be slain in the street.”
