He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but [that which is] in the midst of fools is made known.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin [is] a reproach to any people.
