Proverbs 22:16-18

Darby Translation

¹⁶ He that oppresseth the poor, it is to enrich him; he that giveth to the rich, [bringeth] only to want.

¹⁷ Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart unto my knowledge.

¹⁸ For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee: they shall be together fitted on thy lips.
