⁶ The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.

¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor,
He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.
¹⁴ A gift in secret ^[a]pacifieth anger;
And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.

¹⁷ He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man:
He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

²⁰ There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
But a foolish man swalloweth it up.

²⁶ There is that coveteth greedily all the day long;
But the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.
