1. Better is the poor that walks in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2. Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hastens with his feet sins.
3. The foolishness of man perverts his way: and his heart frets against the LORD.
4. Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.
5. A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.
6. Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that gives gifts.
7. All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues them with words, yet they are nothing to him.
8. He that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.
