A good name is rather to be chosen

Than great riches

And loving favour

Rather than silver and gold

The rich and the poor meet togather

JAH is the maker of them all

A prudent man forseeth the evil

And hideth himself

But the simple pass on

And are punished

Rob not the poor

Because he is poor

Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate

For JAH will plead their cause

And spoil the soul of those that spoiled them

Make no friendship with an angry man

And with a furious man thou shalt not go

Lest thou learn his ways

And get a snare to thy soul.

Be not thou one of them that strike hands

Or of them that are sureties for debts

If thou hast nothing to pay

Why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

Rob not the poor

Because he is poor

Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate

For JAH will plead their cause

And spoil the soul of those that spoiled them



He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity

And the rod of his anger shall fail.

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed

For he giveth of his bread to the poor.

Cast out the scorner

And contention shall go out

Yeah! Strife and reproach shall cease
