3 A poor man who oppresses the weak is like pounding rain without food.
4 Those who forsake Torah praise the wicked, but those who keep Torah stir them up.
5 Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek Adonai understand it fully.
6 Better the poor who walks in his integrity than the rich whose ways are crooked.
7 He who keeps Torah is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.
8 Whoever increases his wealth by exorbitant interest, gathers it for one kinder to the poor.
9 One who turns his ear from hearing Torah —even his prayer is an abomination.
