Proverbs

¹Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that perverse in his lips and is a fool. ²Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. ³The foolishness of man subverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the LORD. ⁴Wealth addeth many friends: but the poor is separated from his friend. ⁵A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that uttereth lies shall not escape. ⁶Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. ⁷All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him! he pursueth them with words, but they are gone.
