⁸ A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it:
    whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

²³ A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom
    to pervert the ways of judgment.

²¹ An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning;
    but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

³ To do justice and judgment
    is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

⁶ The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
    is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

⁷ The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them;
    because they refuse to do judgment.

⁸ The way of man is froward and strange:
    but as for the pure, his work is right.
