6For if he curse thee in the bitternesse of his soule, his prayer shall be heard of him that made him. 7Get thy selfe the loue of the congregation, and bow thy head to a great man. 8Let it not grieue thee to bowe downe thine eare to the poore, and giue him a friendly answere with meekenesse. 9Deliuer him that suffreth wrong, from the hand of the oppressour, and be not faint hearted when thou sittest in iudgement. 10Be as a father vnto the fatherlesse, and in stead of a husband vnto their mother, so shalt thou be as the sonne of the most high, and he shall loue thee more then thy mother doeth.
