1 Better to be poor and walk in innocencethan to have dishonest lips and be a fool.
2 Ignorant desire isn’t good;rushing feet make mistakes.
3 People’s own folly corrupts their way,but their hearts rage against the Lord.
4 Riches increase one’s friends,but the poor lose their friends.
5 A false witness won’t go unpunished,and a liar won’t escape.
6 Many seek favor from rulers;everyone befriends a gift giver.
7 All the relatives of the poor hate them;even more, their friends stay far from them.When they pursue them with words, they aren’t there.
