⁶ The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
    is a vanity tossed back and forth by those who seek death.

¹³ Whoever shuts his ears at the cry of the poor,
    he also will cry himself, but will not be heard.

¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifies anger,
    and a concealed bribe strong wrath.

¹⁷ He who loves pleasure will be a poor man;
    he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

²⁰ There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise,
    but a foolish man squanders it.

²⁶ He covets greedily all the day long,
    but the righteous gives and does not spare.
