1. Better a poor person walking in integrity than one who is perverse in his speech and is a fool.
2. Also, a life without knowledge is not good, and he who moves quickly with his feet misses the mark.
3. As for the folly of humankind, its way leads to ruin, and against Yahweh his heart will rage.
4. Wealth adds many friends, but the poor will be left by his friends.
5. A witness of falsehood will not go unpunished, and he who breathes lies will not escape.
