10 aThe bloodthirsty hate the blameless,
But the upright seek his
1 well-being.
11 A fool vents all his
afeelings,
But a wise
man holds them back.
12 If a ruler pays attention to lies,
All his servants
become wicked.
13 The poor
man and the oppressor have this in common:
aThe
Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14 The king who judges the
apoor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.
