American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrityThan he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
Also, {Or, desire without knowledge is not good}that the soul be without knowledge is not good;And he that hasteth with his feet {Or, misseth his way}sinneth.
The foolishness of man subverteth his way;And his heart fretteth against Jehovah.
Wealth addeth many friends;But {Or, the friend of the poor separated himself from him}the poor is separated from his friend.
A false witness shall not be unpunished;And he that {Hebrew: breatheth out.}uttereth lies shall not escape.
Many will entreat the favor of {Or, a prince}the liberal man;And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
All the brethren of the poor do hate him:How much more do his friends go far from him! {Or, he pursueth after words, which are nought}He pursueth them with words, but they are gone.
