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

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

¹⁶ The prince that lacketh 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 hasteneth 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.
