1. A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold.
2. The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all.
3. A prudent man sees danger, and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
4. The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life.
5. Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked: whoever guards his soul stays from them.
