He who plans to do evil
Will be called a schemer or deviser of evil.

He who oppresses the poor taunts and insults his Maker,
But he who is kind and merciful and gracious to the needy honors Him.

Whoever mocks the poor taunts his Maker,
And he who rejoices at [another’s] disaster will not go unpunished.

The rich and poor have a common bond;
The Lord is the Maker of them all.

A worthless man devises and digs up evil,
And the words on his lips are like a scorching fire.

Whoever digs a pit [for another man’s feet] will fall into it,
And he who rolls a stone [up a hill to do mischief], it will come back on him.
