TSK · Proverbs 30:14

I brake also the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckt the praye out of his teeth.

O Lord, arise: helpe me, my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

Now for the oppression of the needy, and for the sighes of the poore, I will vp, sayeth the Lord, and will set at libertie him, whom the wicked hath snared.

Thy tongue imagineth mischiefe, and is like a sharpe rasor, that cutteth deceitfully.

Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauen, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.

There is that speaketh wordes like the prickings of a sworde: but the tongue of wise men is health.

A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.

What haue ye to do, that ye beate my people to pieces, and grinde the faces of the poore, saith the Lord, euen tho Lord of hostes?

For the weapons of the churle are wicked: hee deuiseth wicked counsels, to vndoe the poore with lying words: and to speake against the poore in iudgement.

Yee eate the fat, and yee clothe you with the wooll: yee kill them that are fed, but ye feede not the sheepe.

They gape ouer the head of the poore, in the dust of the earth, and peruert the wayes of the meeke: and a man and his father will goe in to a mayde to dishonour mine holy Name.

Heare this, O yee that swallowe vp the poore, that ye may make the needie of the lande to fayle,

And I sayd, Heare, I pray you, O heads of Iaakob, and yee princes of the house of Israel: should not ye knowe iudgement?

Thou didest strike thorowe with his owne staues the heades of his villages: they came out as a whirle winde to scatter me: their reioycing was as to deuoure the poore secretly.

Wo therefore be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites, because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: for ye your selues go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter, to come in.

And they had heare as the heare of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lyons.
