3 What will the cooking pot have in common with the earthen vessel? And when they collide with one another, one will be broken.
4 The rich man has suffered no injustice, and yet he fumes. But the poor man, though he has been wounded, will remain silent.
5 If you are generous, he will take you up; and when you have nothing, he will cast you aside.
6 If you possess, he will feast with you, and he will empty you, and he will not grieve over you.
7 If he has need of you, he will deceive you; and while smiling, he will give you hope. He will converse with you pleasantly, and he will say: 'What is it that you need?'
