⁶ It is better to be poor and ·innocent [walk blamelessly]
than to be rich and ·wicked [^Lbe on crooked paths].

¹⁹ Those who work their land will have plenty of food,
but the ones who ·chase empty dreams instead [^Lpursue emptiness] will end up poor.

²⁵ A greedy person ·causes trouble [^Lstirs up conflict],
but the one who trusts the Lord will ·succeed [escape].

²⁷ Whoever gives to the poor will ·have everything he needs [^Llack nothing],
but the one who ·ignores [turns a blind eye to] the poor will receive many curses.
