| Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. | Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. |
| Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. | Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. |
|
| Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence. | Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous. |
| For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish. | For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. |
