4 The being of the lazy one craves, but has not; While the being of the hard workers are enriched.
5 A righteous one hates a lying word, But a wrong man is loathsome and comes to shame.
6 Righteousness watches over him who is perfect in the way, But wrongness overthrows the sinner.
7 There is one who makes himself rich, Yet has none at all. And one who makes himself poor, Yet has great riches.
8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, But the poor does not hear rebuke.
9 But the lamp of the wrong is put out.
10 By pride comes only strife, But wisdom is with those who take advice.
