Many are there that have been given in pledge (?) to gold; And that trusted (?) on rubies. And they found not how to escape from evil; Neither to save themselves in the day of wrath.

For it is a stumblingblock to the fool; And whoso is simple is enticed thereby.

Blessed is the man (H) that hath been found perfect; And that hath not gone aside after mammon.

Who is he? and we will call him blessed: For he hath done wonderously among his people.

Who is he? that we may cleave (H) unto him; And he shall have peace, and he shall have glory. For when as the peace of his life multiplieth, I will be a glory unto thee (?).
