⁷ Whoever keeps the law [of God and man] is a wise son, but he who is a companion of gluttons and the carousing, self-indulgent, and extravagant shames his father.

⁸ He who by charging excessive interest and who by unjust efforts to get gain increases his material possession gathers it for him [to spend] who is kind and generous to the poor.^(A)

⁹ He who turns away his ear from hearing the law [of God and man], even his prayer is an abomination, hateful and revolting [to God].^(B)
