1. Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that perverse in his lips and is a fool.
2. Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3. The foolishness of man subverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the Lord.
4. Wealth addeth many friends: but the poor is separated from his friend.
5. A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that uttereth lies shall not escape.
6. Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7. All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him! he pursueth them with words, but they are gone.
8. He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9. A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that uttereth lies shall perish.
10. Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11. The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
