2 That the soul be without wisdom is not good, and he that hastens with his feet sins.
3 The foolishness of man perverts his way, and his heart is wroth against the Lord.
4 Wealth makes many friends, but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witness shall not go unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.
6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince, but every man is a friend to him that gives.
7 All the brethren of the poor hate him; how much more shall his friends separate themselves from him? He shall seek their friendship and not find it.
8 He that gets wisdom loves his own soul; he keeps intelligence that he might find that which is good.
