- 15:2 He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
- 15:3 He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.
- 15:4 Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing YHWH he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;
- 15:5 His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
