¹ The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

³ A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

⁶ Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

⁷ Ẹnikẹni ti o pa ofin mọ́, o ṣe ọlọgbọ́n ọmọ: ṣugbọn ẹniti o ṣe ẹlẹgbẹ jẹguduragudu, o dojuti baba rẹ̀.

¹¹ The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
