1Better is a good name, than many riches; for good grace is above silver and gold (or for a good reputation is more valuable than silver and gold).
2A rich man and a poor man met themselves; the Lord is the worker of ever either. (A rich person and a poor person met together; the Lord is the Maker of both of them.)
3A fell man seeth evil, and hideth himself; and an innocent man passed, and he was tormented by harm. (A clever person seeth evil coming, and hideth himself; but a gullible person passed forth, or kept going, and so he was tormented by harm.)
4The end of temperance is the dread of the Lord; riches, and glory, and life. (The fruit of humility is the fear of the Lord or is reverence for the Lord; along with riches, and glory, and life.)
5Armours and swords be in the way of a wayward man; but the keeper of his soul goeth away far from those. (Arms, or weapons, and swords be on the way of the wayward; but he who keepeth his life safe goeth far away from them.)
