6  An evil man is ^kensnared in his transgression,

but a righteous man ^lsings and rejoices.

7  A righteous man ^mknows the rights of the poor;

a wicked man does not ⁿunderstand such knowledge.

10  Bloodthirsty men ^qhate one who is blameless

and seek the life of the upright.¹

16  When the wicked increase, transgression increases,

but ^xthe righteous will look upon their downfall.

27  ^lAn unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,

but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.
