1 Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
2 Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
3 The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
4 Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
