1 Blessed is the man who has not slipped because of a word from his mouth, and who has not been stung by grief because of an offense.
2 Happy is he who does not have sadness in his mind, and who has not fallen away from his hope.
3 Substance is senseless for a greedy and stingy man. And what would a spiteful man do with gold?
4 Whoever acquires unjustly, according to his own mind, gathers for others. For another will spend his goods lavishly.
