The prince H5057 that wanteth H2638 understanding H8394 [is] also a great H7227 oppressor: H4642 [but] he that hateth H8130 (QalActPtc) covetousness H1215 shall prolong H748 (HiphImpf) [his] days. H3117

βασιλευς ενδεης προσοδων μεγας συκοφαντης ο δε μισων αδικιαν μακρον χρονον ζησεται

He who walks righteously and speaks blamelessly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—

He that walketh H1980 (QalActPtc) righteously, H6666 and speaketh H1696 (QalActPtc) uprightly; H4339 he that despiseth H3988 (QalActPtc) the gain H1215 of oppressions, H4642 that shaketh H5287 (QalActPtc) his hands H3709 from holding H8551 (QalInf) of bribes, H7810 that stoppeth H331 (QalPtc) his ears H241 from hearing H8085 (QalInf) of blood, H1818 and shutteth H6105 (QalActPtc) his eyes H5869 from seeing H7200 (QalInf) evil; H7451
