1A name is chosen rather than much wealth, Than silver and than gold — good grace.
2Rich and poor have met together, The Maker of them all is Jehovah.
3The prudent hath seen the evil, and is hidden, And the simple have passed on, and are punished.
4The end of humility is the fear of Jehovah, Riches, and honour, and life.
5Thorns — snares are in the way of the perverse, Whoso is keeping his soul is far from them.
