1  ^dBetter is a poor person who walks in his integrity

than ^eone who is ^fcrooked in speech and is a fool.

3  When a man’s folly brings his way to ruin,

his heart rages against the Lord.

10  It is ⁿnot fitting for a fool to live in luxury,

much less for a slave to rule over princes.

29  Condemnation is ready for scoffers,

and ^gbeating for the backs of fools.
