1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
2 It isn`t good to have zeal without knowledge; Nor being hasty with one`s feet and missing the way.
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way; His heart rages against Yahweh.
4 Wealth adds many friends, But the poor is separated from his friend.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
6 Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, And everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
7 All the relatives of the poor shun him: How much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
