1. Better is a poor man that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2. Also that a person be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet maketh false steps.
3. The folly of man distorteth his way, and his heart is irritated against Jehovah.
4. Wealth addeth many friends; but the poor is separated from his friend.
5. A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall not escape.
6. Many court the favour of a noble; and every one is friend to a man that giveth.
7. All the brethren of a poor man hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him: he pursueth them with words, --they are not to be found.
