The rich man does wrong and boasts of it, the poor man is wronged
and begs forgiveness. As long as the rich man can use you he will enslave you,
but when you are exhausted, he will abandon you. As long as you have anything
he will speak fair words to you, and with smiles he will win your confidence;
When he needs something from you he will cajole you, then without regret he
will impoverish you. While it serves his purpose he will beguile you, then
twice or three times he will terrify you; When later he sees you he will pass
you by, and shake his head over you. Guard against being presumptuous, be not
as those who lack sense. The word of the
LORD. Thanks be to God.
