From a fully vowelled text
لاَ تَسْلُبِ الْفَقِيرَ لِكَوْنِهِ فَقِيرًا، وَلاَ تَسْحَقِ الْمِسْكِينَ فِي الْبَابِ،Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:Proverbs 22:22, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
أَيْضًا كَوْنُ النَّفْسِ بِلاَ مَعْرِفَةٍ لَيْسَ حَسَنًا، وَالْمُسْتَعْجِلُ بِرِجْلَيْهِ يُخْطِئُ.Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.Proverbs 19:2, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَكَفَّ هؤُلاَءِ الرِّجَالُ الثَّلاَثَةُ عَنْ مُجَاوَبَةِ أَيُّوبَ لِكَوْنِهِ بَارًّا فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِهِ.So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.Job 32:1, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
