Evil men (A)do not understand justice,
    but those who seek the Lord (B)understand it completely.
(C)Better is a poor man who (D)walks in his integrity
    than a rich man who is (E)crooked in his ways.
The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding,
    but (F)a companion of gluttons shames his father.
Whoever multiplies his wealth (G)by interest and profit[a]
    (H)gathers it for him who is (I)generous to the poor.
