1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and a fool at the same time.
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4Wealth addeth many friends; but as for the poor, his friend separateth himself from him.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall not escape.
6Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
