6. Better is the poor who walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7. Whosoever keeps the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of gluttonous men shames his father.
8. He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9. He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10. Whosoever causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11. The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that has understanding will find him out.
12. When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
13. He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whosoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.
14. Happy is the man that is reverent always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into calamity.
15. As a roaring lion, and a charging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
