4They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.
5Evil men understand not justice; but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
6Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7A wise son observeth the teaching; but he that is a companion of gluttonous men shameth his father.
8He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase, gathereth it for him that is gracious to the poor.
9He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
10Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit; but the whole-hearted shall inherit good.
11The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him through.
