2Further, without knowledge desire is not good; and he who is over-quick in acting goes out of the right way.
3By his foolish behaviour a man's ways are turned upside down, and his heart is bitter against the Lord.
4Wealth makes a great number of friends; but the poor man is parted from his friend.
5A false witness will not go without punishment, and the breather out of deceit will not go free.
6Great numbers will make attempts to get the approval of a ruler: and every man is the special friend of him who has something to give.
