Do not exploit a poor person because he is poor and do not crush the needy in court,

The one who oppresses the poor insults his Creator, but whoever shows favor to the needy honors him.

The one who is gracious to the poor lends to the Lord, and the Lord will repay him for his good deed.

The one who oppresses the poor to increase his own gain and the one who gives to the rich – both end up only in poverty.

The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and will not be answered.

Like a roaring lion or a roving bear, so is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
