^6 (A)Getting treasures by a lying tongue
^[a]Is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.

^13 (A)Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be heard.

¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifies anger,
And a bribe ^[a]behind the back, strong wrath.

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

^20 (A)There is desirable treasure,
And oil in the dwelling of the wise,
But a foolish man squanders it.
