22 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.

² The rich and poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all.

⁷ The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

⁹ He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

¹⁶ He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

²⁶ Be not thou one of them that strike hands or of them that are sureties for debts;

²⁷ if thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
