3 A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.

Proverbs 28
World English Bible, Catholic Edition, Verse 3
Show original chapter Compare this chapterSource Text Study
Relevant source witnesses currently attached to Proverbs 28:3. Some ancient sources use different book or verse structures, so availability notes call out gaps honestly instead of forcing five panels everywhere.
How to read this study data
Source panels are separated by tradition and license. Imported or dataset-backed morphology is stronger than generated or rule-aligned morphology, and editorial alignment notes explain source-structure exceptions without pretending to be ancient source text.
When a verse uses different numbering in a source tradition, Spirit Nation may show the closest mapped source reference and label it directly on the panel.

Coverage: Old Testament and Apocrypha where imported
