The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 21 of Proverbs. The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, an affirmation of divine sovereignty applied directly to political power. At the same time, God values justice and righteousness above ritual sacrifices offered without obedience. The way of the guilty is crooked, while the righteous act uprightly. The section refuses to separate worship from ethics: religious practices do not replace justice.

Der Gottlosen Rauben wird sie erschrecken; denn sie wollten nicht tun, was recht war.
La rapiña de los impíos los destruirá; Por cuanto no quisieron hacer juicio.
La violencia de los malvados los arrastrará, porque se niegan a practicar la justicia.
La violence des méchants les emporte, Parce qu'ils refusent de faire ce qui est juste.
Il predar degli empi li trarrà in giù; Perciocchè hanno rifiutato di far ciò che è diritto
As rapinas dos ímpios os destruirão, porquanto se recusam a fazer justiça.
惡人的殘暴必掃去自己, 因他們不肯按公平行事。
