The soul of the wicked hath desired evil, Not gracious in his eyes is his neighbour.
Good `is' the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.
Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'
The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the root of the righteous giveth.
Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is favouring the humble, O his happiness.
Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked,
Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.
Better to sit on a corner of the roof, Than `with' a woman of contentions and a house of company.
Devise not against thy neighbour evil, And he sitting confidently with thee.
and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.
