2 Quand un pays est en révolte, les chefs sont nombreux; Mais avec un homme qui a de l’intelligence et de la science, Le règne se prolonge.
3 Un homme pauvre qui opprime les misérables Est une pluie violente qui fait manquer le pain.
4 Ceux qui abandonnent la loi louent le méchant, Mais ceux qui observent la loi s’irritent contre lui.
5 Les hommes livrés au mal ne comprennent pas ce qui est juste, Mais ceux qui cherchent l’Éternel comprennent tout.
6 Mieux vaut le pauvre qui marche dans son intégrité, Que celui qui a des voies tortueuses et qui est riche.
