5 Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand everything.
6 Better a poor man who lives with integrity than a rich man who distorts right and wrong.
7 A discerning son keeps the law,but a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.
8 Whoever increases his wealth through excessive interest collects it for one who is kind to the poor.
9 Anyone who turns his ear away from hearing the law —even his prayer is detestable.
10 The one who leads the upright into an evil waywill fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good.
11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes,but a poor man who has discernment sees through him.
