4 Ceux qui abandonnent la loi louent le méchant, Mais ceux qui observent la loi s’irritent contre lui.

5 Les hommes livrés au mal ne comprennent pas ce qui est juste, Mais ceux qui cherchent l’Éternel comprennent tout.

6 Mieux vaut le pauvre qui marche dans son intégrité, Que celui qui a des voies tortueuses et qui est riche.

7 Celui qui observe la loi est un fils intelligent, Mais celui qui fréquente les débauchés fait honte à son père.

8 Celui qui augmente ses biens par l’intérêt et l’usure Les amasse pour celui qui a pitié des pauvres.
