The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
The righteous considereth the cause of the poor (Psalms 41:1 ): (but) the wicked regardeth not to know it.
Though there is no gain, but much trouble, attending the just and merciful consideration of the cause of the poor, yet the righteous take all pains about it. The wicked do not care to know it; or if they know it, act as if they knew it not.
