7 The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.
7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
7 A righteous man knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.
7 The good-hearted understand what it's like to be poor; the hardhearted haven't the faintest idea.
7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor, But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.
7 The godly care about the rights of the poor; the wicked don't care at all.
