20A man of good faith will have great blessing, but one attempting to get wealth quickly will not go free from punishment.
21It is not good to have respect for a man's position: for a man will do wrong for a bit of bread.
22He who is ever desiring wealth goes running after money, and does not see that need will come on him.
23He who says words of protest to a man will later have more approval than one who says smooth words with his tongue.
24He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life.
