Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse.
It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way.
A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the LORD.
Wealth brings many friends, but a poor man's friend deserts him.
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will not go free.

Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of a man who gives gifts.
A poor man is shunned by all his relatives-- how much more do his friends avoid him! Though he pursues them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found.
