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.
9 Si quelqu’un détourne l’oreille pour ne pas écouter la loi, Sa prière même est une abomination.
10 Celui qui égare les hommes droits dans la mauvaise voie Tombe dans la fosse qu’il a creusée; Mais les hommes intègres héritent le bonheur.
