⁸ Better `is' a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.

¹⁶ Better `is' the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.

¹⁶ Better `is' a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much treasure, and tumult with it.

¹⁰ Are there yet `in' the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah?

¹¹ A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, `Is' one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he doth forsake it, And in his latter end -- he is a fool.

⁶ but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment;

⁷ for nothing did we bring into the world -- `it is' manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;

⁹ and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,

⁶ The making of treasures by a lying tongue, `Is' a vanity driven away of those seeking death.

⁷ The spoil of the wicked catcheth them, Because they have refused to do judgment.
