1
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2
Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, And he sins who hastens with his feet.
3
The foolishness of a man twists his way, And his heart frets against the Lord.
4
Wealth makes many friends, But the poor is separated from his friend.
5
A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies will not escape.
6
Many entreat the favor of the nobility, And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.
