1. Better is the poor who walks in his integrityThan one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2. Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge,And he sins who hastens with his feet.
3. The foolishness of a man twists his way,And his heart frets against the Lord.
4. Wealth makes many friends,But the poor is separated from his friend.
5. A false witness will not go unpunished,And he who speaks lies will not escape.
6. Many entreat the favor of the nobility,And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.
