whoever loves wine and anointing oil will not be rich.

but a discerning poor person can evaluate him properly.
28:15 Like a roaring lion or a roving bear,

the wicked does not understand such knowledge.
29:13 The poor person and the oppressor have this in common:
the Lord gives light to the eyes of them both.
31:5 lest they drink and forget what is decreed,
and remove from all the poor their legal rights.
