⁶ Those who gain treasure with lies
    are like a drifting fog, leading to death.

¹³ Those who close their ears to the cries of the poor
    will themselves call out but receive no answer.
¹⁴ A secret gift calms anger,
    and a hidden bribe removes^[a] furious wrath.

¹⁷ Those who love pleasure end up poor;
    lovers of wine and oil won’t get rich.

²⁰ Precious treasure and oil stay in the home of the wise,
    but fools swallow them up.

²⁶ The lazy desire things constantly,
    but the righteous give without holding back.
