1 Better is the poor who walks in his integritythan he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
2 It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge;nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way.
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way;his heart rages against the Lord.
4 Wealth adds many friends,but the poor is separated from his friend.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished.He who pours out lies shall not go free.
6 Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
7 All the relatives of the poor shun him:how much more do his friends avoid him!He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
