1 The rasha flee when none pursueth; but the tzaddikim are bold as a lion.
2 For the peysha eretz (land in rebellion) many are the sarim (rulers) thereof, but by an adam meiven yodei'a (a man of wisdom and knowledge) shall be lasting order.
3 A gever rahsh (poor man) that oppresseth the dalim (poor ones) is like a sweeping matar (rain) which leaveth no lechem (food, crop).
4 They that forsake the torah praise the rasha, but such as be shomer over the torah contend against them.
