(Qal)

Strong's Number H7326 matches the Hebrew רוּשׁ (rûš),
which occurs 24 times in 24 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
And the LORD sent Nathan [the prophet] to David. He came and said to him,
“There were two men in a city, one rich and the other poor.
But the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb
Which he had purchased and nourished;
And it grew up together with him and his children.
It ate his food, drank from his cup, it lay in his arms,
And was like a daughter to him.
“Now a traveler (visitor) came to the rich man,
And to avoid taking one from his own flock or herd
To prepare [a meal] for the traveler who had come to him,
He took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared it for [fn]his guest.”
The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry,
But they who seek the LORD will not lack any good thing.
Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice and maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.
Poor is he who works with a negligent and idle hand,
But the hand of the diligent makes him rich.
There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing at all;
Another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
The ransom for a man’s life is his wealth,
But the poor man does not even have to listen to a rebuke or threats [from the envious].
Abundant food is in the fallow (uncultivated) ground of the poor,
But [without protection] it is swept away by injustice.
Whoever mocks the poor taunts his Maker,
And he who rejoices at [another’s] disaster will not go unpunished.
Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity
Than a [rich] man who is twisted in his speech and is a [shortsighted] fool.
All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
How much more do his friends abandon him!
He pursues them with words, but they are gone.
That which is desirable in a man is his loyalty and unfailing love,
But it is better to be a poor man than a [wealthy] liar.
A poor man who oppresses and exploits the lowly
Is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than he who is crooked and two-faced though he is rich.
He who gives to the poor will never want,
But he who shuts his eyes [from their need] will have many curses.
The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.
