It is better to be poor and honest than to be foolish and tell lies. Enthusiasm without knowledge is not good. If you act too quickly, you might make a mistake. People’s own foolishness ruins their lives, but in their minds they blame the LORD. Wealthy people are always finding more friends, but the poor lose all theirs. A witness who lies will not go free; liars will never escape. Many people want to please a leader, and everyone is friends with those who give gifts. Poor people’s relatives avoid them; even their friends stay far away. They run after them, begging, but they are gone. Those who get wisdom do themselves a favor, and those who love learning will succeed. A witness who lies will not go free, liars will die. A fool should not live in luxury. A slave should not rule over princes. The wise are patient; they will be honored if they ignore insults.
