4 Power over the earth is in the hand of God, and, in due time, he will raise up a helpful leader over the earth.
5 The prosperity of a man is in the hand of God, and he will place his honor above the face of the scribe.
6 You should forget all injury done to you by your neighbor, and you should do nothing among the works of injury.
7 Arrogance is hateful in the sight of God and of men. And all iniquity among the nations is abominable.
8 A kingdom is transferred from one people to another because of injustices, and injuries, and contempt, and every kind of deceit.
9 But nothing is more wicked than a greedy man. Why should that which is earth and ashes be arrogant?
10 There is nothing more iniquitous than to love money. For such a one has sold even his own soul. For in his life, he casts aside his innermost being.
