Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse.1

It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way.2
3
A man's own folly3 ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the LORD.4
4
Wealth brings many friends, but a poor man's friend deserts him.5
5
A false witness6 will not go unpunished,7 and he who pours out lies will not go free.8

Many curry favor with a ruler,9 and everyone is the friend of a man who gives gifts.10
