⁶ Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness,
than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

⁸ He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance,
he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

¹¹ The rich man is wise in his own conceit;
but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

¹⁶ The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor:
but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

²⁰ A faithful man shall abound with blessings:
but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

²² He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye,
and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

²⁷ He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack:
but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
