1. It is better to be respected than to be rich. A good name is worth more than silver or gold.
2. The rich and the poor are the same. The Lord made them all.
3. Wise people see trouble coming and get out of its way, but fools go straight to it and suffer for it.
4. Respect the Lord and be humble. Then you will have wealth, honor, and true life.
5. Evil people are trapped by many troubles, but those who want to live avoid them.
