'Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.' Wealth maketh many friends; the poor is separated from his neighbor. 'He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto Jehovah, and his good deed will he pay him again.' Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope. 'There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.' House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, 'but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.'
