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.
