What is too heavy for thee wherefore shouldest thou lift? And wherefore have fellowship with one that is richer than thou? What fellowship shall earthen pot have with kettle, When if this smite that, it is dashed in pieces? What fellowship shall the rich have with the poor?
The rich doeth a wrong, and he boasteth himself of it (?): The poor is wronged, and he must entreat withal (?).
If thou be right for him, he will make thee serve him; And if thou be brought low, he will be sparing of thee.
If thou have substance (?), he will speak thee fair; And he will impoverish thee, and will not be sorry.
