⁶ Better to be poor and walking in one’s integrity
    than to be crooked of ways when one is rich.

⁸ He who augments his wealth with interest and with usury
    gathers it for him who is kind to the poor.

¹¹ A man of wealth is wise in his own eyes,
    but the intelligent poor sees through him.

¹⁶ A ruler who lacks understanding is^[a] a cruel oppressor,
    but those who hate unjust gain will have long^[b] days.

²⁰ A man of faithfulness has abundant blessings,
    but he who hurries to become rich will not go unpunished.

²² He who hurries for wealth is a man with an evil eye,^[a]
    but he does not know that poverty will come upon him.

²⁷ For he who gives to the poor, there is no lacking,
    but for he^[a] who turns his eyes, there are many curses.
