- 1A good name is more desirable than great riches,
and loving favor is better than silver and gold. - 2The rich and the poor have this in common:
Yahweh is the maker of them all. - 3A prudent man sees danger and hides himself;
but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. - 4The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh
is wealth, honor, and life. - 5Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked:
whoever guards his soul stays from them.
