191 Better the poor whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse.
191 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
191 Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.
191 Better to be poor and honest than a rich person no one can trust.
191 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
191 Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and a fool.

A poor man who fears God, is more honourable and happy, than a man without wisdom and grace, however rich or advanced in rank.
