5 Evil men (A)do not understand justice,
But those who seek Yahweh (B)understand all things.
6 (C)Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than he who is crooked—[a]double dealing—though he be rich.
7 He who observes the law is a son who understands,
But he who befriends (D)gluttons humiliates his father.
