4Those who forsake the Torah praise the wicked; but those who keep the Torah contend with them.
5Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
6Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
7Whoever keeps the Torah is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
9He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an abomination.
10Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.
