Betteris the poorwho walksin his integrityThanhe who is crookedthough he be rich.
He who walksin his uprightnessfearsthe LORD,But he who is deviousin his waysdespisesHim.
Betteris a littlewith righteousnessThangreatincomewith injustice.
Betteris a poorman who walksin his integrityThanhe whois perversein speechand is a fool.
Whatis desirablein a manis his kindness,And [it is] betterto be a poorman thana liar.
He who walksblamelesslywill be delivered,But he who is crookedwill fallallat once.
