⁶ Piling up treasure by a lying tongue
    is a vanishing vapor for those who seek death.

¹³ Whoever shuts his ear to the cries of the poor—
he too will cry out and not be answered.
¹⁴ A gift given in secret soothes anger,
and a bribe slipped into the pocket soothes fury.

¹⁷ Whoever loves pleasure will be poor.
Whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.

²⁰ Good food and olive oil are stored up in the dwellings of the wise,
but a foolish person devours everything he has.

²⁶ All day long he craves something more,
but a righteous person gives and does not hold back.
