Turn at my warning; behold, I will pour out my Spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

If you are wise, you shall be wise for yourself; but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.

He who deals with a lazy hand becomes poor; but the hand of the hard worker makes rich.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.

The hand of the hard worker shall bear rule, but the lazy shall be under service.

There are those who act rich, yet have nothing; and those who act poor, yet have great riches.

The ransom of a man's life is his riches, but the poor does not hear rebuke.

Much food is in the plowed ground of the poor, but when there is no justice, it is swept away.

The poor is hated even by his own neighbor, but the rich has many friends.

He who despises his neighbor sins, but he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.

He who presses the poor curses his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy upon the poor.

The thoughts of the wicked are very hateful to Jehovah, but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

Whoever scorns the poor reviles his Maker; he who is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.

A fool has no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.

The spirit of a man will nourish his sickness, but a wounded spirit who can bear?

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it shall eat the fruit of it.

The poor speaks humble requests, but the rich answers roughly.

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.

All the brothers of the poor man hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him? He pursues them with words, yet they are lacking.

He who has pity upon the poor lends to Jehovah, and He will reward his dealing to him.

The charm of a man is his kindness, and a poor man is better than a liar.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean; I am pure from my sin?

Even a child is known by his own doings, whether his work is pure and whether it is right.

It is bad! Bad, says the buyer; but when it is left to him, then he boasts.

The way of a guilty man is perverted; but the pure, his work is right.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

He who loves pleasure shall be a poor man; he who loves wine and oil shall not be rich.

The rich and poor meet together; Jehovah is the maker of them all.

The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

He who has a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he gives of his bread to the poor.

He who crushes the poor to multiply for himself, and he who gives to the rich, only to come to poverty.

Do not rob the poor, because he is poor; nor press down the afflicted in the gate;

Your father and your mother shall be glad, and she who bore you shall rejoice.

She also lies in wait as for prey, and increases the treacherous among men.

Though you should pound a fool in a bowl with a bar in the midst of wheat, his foolishness will not depart from him.

A poor man who crushes the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.

Better is the poor who walks in his uprightness than he who is perverse in his ways, though he is rich.

He who increases his wealth by interest and unjust gain, he shall gather it for him who will pity the poor.

The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding searches him out.

Like a roaring lion and a ranging bear, so is a wicked ruler over the helpless people.

He who gives to the poor shall not lack, but he who hides his eyes shall have many a curse.

The righteous knows the plea of the poor; the wicked cares not to know it.

The poor and the deceitful man meet together; Jehovah gives light to the eyes of both.

Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

lest I be full and deceive, and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, and violate the name of my God.

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their own filth.

There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaw teeth like knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

Under three things the earth quakes, and under four it is not able to bear up:

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

She stretches out her hand to the poor; yea, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
