⁶ Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity,
Than he that is ^[a]perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

⁸ He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase,
Gathereth it for him that hath pity on the poor.

¹¹ The rich man is wise in ^[a]his own conceit;
But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

^16 [a]The prince that lacketh 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 unpunished.

²² He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches,
And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.

²⁷ He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack;
But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
