5Evil men have no knowledge of what is right; but those who go after the Lord have knowledge of all things.
6Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are not straight.
7He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who keeps company with feasters puts shame on his father.
8He who makes his wealth greater by taking interest, only gets it together for him who has pity on the poor.
9As for the man whose ear is turned away from hearing the law, even his prayer is disgusting.
10Anyone causing the upright to go wandering in an evil way, will himself go down into the hole he has made; but the upright will have good things for their heritage.
11The man of wealth seems to himself to be wise, but the poor man who has sense has a low opinion of him.
