⁶ If he can pay, his creditor^[a] will hardly get back half
    and will regard that as a windfall.
If he cannot pay, the borrower^[b] has robbed the other of his money,
    and he has needlessly made him an enemy;
he will repay him with curses and reproaches
    and instead of glory will repay him with dishonor.^(A)

¹² Do not lend to one who is stronger than you,
    but if you do lend anything, count it as a loss.^(A)
