- Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
- Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
- He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
- He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
- Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

- Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse.
- He who keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.
- He who increases his wealth by exorbitant interest amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.
- If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable.
- He who leads the upright along an evil path will fall into his own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.
