^6 (A)Working for treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting breath, by those who pursue ^(B)death.

¹³ He who ^(A)shuts his ear to the outcry of the poor
Will himself also call and not be ^(B)answered.
¹⁴ A ^(C)gift in secret subdues anger,
And a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.

¹⁷ He who ^(A)loves ^[a]pleasure will become a poor man;
He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.

²⁰ There is desirable ^(A)treasure and oil in the abode of the wise,
But a foolish man ^(B)swallows it up.

²⁶ All day long he ^[a]is insatiably craving,
While the righteous ^(A)gives and does not hold back.
