13:22 When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers: he speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men justify him: the poor man slipped, and yet they rebuked him too; he spake wisely, and could have no place.
13:23 When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his tongue, and, look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds: but if the poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this? and if he stumble, they will help to overthrow him.
13:24 Riches are good unto him that hath no sin, and poverty is evil in the mouth of the ungodly.
13:25 The heart of a man changeth his countenance, whether it be for good or evil: and a merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.
13:26 A cheerful countenance is a token of a heart that is in prosperity; and the finding out of parables is a wearisome labour of the mind.
14:1 Blessed is the man that hath not slipped with his mouth, and is not pricked with the multitude of sins.
14:2 Blessed is he whose conscience hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord.
14:3 Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an envious man do with money?
14:4 He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously.
14:5 He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods.
