- 1Better `is' the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse `in' his lips, who `is' a fool.
- 2Also, without knowledge the soul `is' not good, And the hasty in feet is sinning.
- 3The folly of man perverteth his way, And against Jehovah is his heart wroth.
- 4Wealth addeth many friends, And the poor from his neighbour is separated.
- 5A false witness is not acquitted, Whoso breatheth out lies is not delivered.
- 6Many entreat the face of the noble, And all have made friendship to a man of gifts.
- 7All the brethren of the poor have hated him, Surely also his friends have been far from him, He is pursuing words -- they are not!
