Better is the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together. They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated. Mine is counsel and substance, I am understanding, I have might. By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness, By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth. I love those loving me, And those seeking me earnestly do find me. Wealth and honour are with me, Lasting substance and righteousness. Better is my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.
