3The folly of a man deceiveth his steps (or A person’s foolishness perverteth his own way); and he burneth in his soul against God.
4Riches increase full many friends; forsooth also they be departed from a poor man, which he had, (or but the friends which a poor person had, shall soon depart).
5A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that speaketh leasings, shall not escape. (A lying witness shall not go unpunished; and he who speaketh lies, shall not escape.)
6Many men honour the person of a mighty man; and they be friends of him that dealeth (out) gifts.
7The brethren of a poor man hate him; furthermore and the friends went away far from him. He that followeth words only, shall have nothing; (The brothers of a poor man hate him; and furthermore his friends shall go far away from him. He who followeth after only words, shall soon have nothing;)
8but he that holdeth stably the mind, loveth his soul, and the keeper of prudence shall find goods. (but he who keepeth his mind stable, loveth, or helpeth, his own life, and the keeper of understanding, or of discernment, shall obtain good things.)
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that speaketh leasings, shall perish. (A lying witness shall not go unpunished; and he who speaketh lies, shall perish.)
