A righteous man regardeth

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

A righteous man cares about his animal’s health, but even the merciful acts of the wicked are cruel.

The Righteous One takes note of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.

When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” Him the people will curse; Nations will abhor him.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
