6aBetter is the poor who walks in his integrityThan he who is crooked—1double dealing—though he be rich. 8He who increases his wealth by ainterest and usuryGathers it bfor him who is gracious to the lowly. 11The rich man is awise in his own eyes,But the lowly who understands 1searches him. 16A aleader who lacks discernment abounds in oppressions,But he who hates greedy gain will prolong his days. 20A afaithful man will abound with blessings,But he who bmakes haste to be rich will not go unpunished. 22A man with an aevil eye bhurries after wealthAnd does not know that want will come upon him. 27He who agives to the poor will never want,But he who 1shuts his eyes will have many curses.
