7 Make yourself a friend to the congregation of the poor, and humble your soul before an elder, and humble your head before the great.
8 Turn your ear without sadness toward the poor, and repay your debt, and respond to him peacefully in meekness.
9 Free him who suffers injury at the hand of the arrogant, and do not carry animosity in your soul.
10 In judging, be merciful to the orphan, like a father, and be merciful to their mother, like a husband.
11 And then you shall be like an obedient son of the Most High, and he will take pity on you more than a mother would.
