Better a poor man who walks in his integrity than a man of crooked ways, though he is rich.
In context
4Those who abandon the teaching praise the wicked, but those who keep the teaching contend with them. 5Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek Yahweh understand everything. 6Better a poor man who walks in his integrity than a man of crooked ways, though he is rich. 7Whoever keeps the teaching is a son with understanding, but a companion of gluttons shames his father. 8Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and gain gathers it for one who is kind to the poor.
