⁶ Better is the poor who walks in his uprightness
    than he who is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

⁸ He who by usury and unjust gain increases his substance
    will gather it for him who will pity the poor.

¹¹ The rich man is wise in his own conceit,
    but the poor who has understanding searches him out.

¹⁶ The prince who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor,
    but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.

²⁰ A faithful man will abound with blessings,
    but he who makes haste to be rich will not be innocent.

²² He who hastens to be rich has an evil eye,
    and does not consider that poverty will come upon him.

²⁷ He who gives to the poor will not lack,
    but he who hides his eyes will have many a curse.
