² The good bringeth forth favour from Jehovah, And the man of wicked devices He condemneth.

³⁵ For whoso is finding me, hath found life, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.

¹⁵ Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

⁵ Good `is' the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

³¹ And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled.

¹⁸ A heart devising thoughts of vanity -- Feet hasting to run to evil --

⁸ There is no man ruling over the spirit to restrain the spirit, and there is no authority over the day of death, and there is no discharge in battle, and wickedness delivereth not its possessors.

⁵ A fool is no more called `noble,' And to a miser it is not said, `rich;'

⁶ For a fool speaketh folly, And his heart doth iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak concerning Jehovah error, To empty the soul of the hungry, Yea, drink of the thirsty he causeth to lack.

⁷ And the miser -- his instruments `are' evil, He hath counselled wicked devices, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaketh justly.

²⁴ because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.

⁷ for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die;
