(The wise man, hearing, will get greater learning, and the acts of the man of good sense will be wisely guided:)

For trading in it is better than trading in silver, and its profit greater than bright gold.

The blessing of the Lord gives wealth: hard work makes it no greater.

Whoever oppresses the poor defies their Creator, but whoever is kind to the needy honors them.

The one who mocks the poor insults his Creator; whoever rejoices over disaster will not go unpunished.

A rebuke makes a greater impression on a discerning person than a hundred blows on a fool.

The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the creator of them both.

A wise man is strong; and a man of knowledge makes strength greater.

A stone has great weight, and sand is crushing; but the wrath of the foolish is of greater weight than these.

He who makes his wealth greater by taking interest, only gets it together for him who has pity on the poor.
