⁶ Getting treasures by a lying tongue
    is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.

¹³ Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor,
    he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.
¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifies anger,
    and a bribe in the cloak, strong wrath.

¹⁷ He who loves pleasure will be a poor man.
    He who loves wine and oil won’t be rich.

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

²⁶ There are those who covet greedily all day long;
    but the righteous give and don’t withhold.
