Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.

3 A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
