3 El hombre pobre y robador de los pobres, es lluvia de avenida y sin pan.

4 Los que dejan la ley, alaban á los impíos: mas los que la guardan, contenderán con ellos.

5 Los hombres malos no entienden el juicio: mas los que buscan á Jehová, entienden todas las cosas.

6 Mejor es el pobre que camina en su integridad, que el de perversos caminos, y rico.

7 El que guarda la ley es hijo prudente: mas el que es compañero de glotones, avergüenza á su padre.
