4 By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life.

5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards his soul will be far from them.

7 The ^arich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender. ‡

8 He who sows iniquity will reap ^asorrow,
And the rod of his anger will fail. ‡
