In context
2 Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
3 The folly of a man supplanteth his steps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
4 Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall not escape.
6 Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
7 The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
8 But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence, shall find good things.
