7 The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He who sows unrighteousness reaps trouble, And the rod of his wrath perishes.
9 He who has a good eye is blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.
10 Cast out the scoffer and strife goes out, And contention and shame cease.
11 He who loves cleanness of heart, Whose speech is pleasant, A sovereign is his friend.
12 The eyes of יהוה shall watch over knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous.
13 The lazy one says, “There is a lion outside! I am going to be killed in the streets!”
