Verse 6 is found in chapter 22 of Proverbs. A good name is presented as preferable to great riches, and the rich and poor are equally under the creation of the Lord. Prudence allows a person to hide from danger, while the naive move forward without considering consequences. The teaching about sowing injustice and reaping calamity expresses a recurring moral logic. Generosity toward the poor is again connected with divine blessing.

Wie man einen Knaben gewöhnt, so läßt er nicht davon, wenn er alt wird.
Instruye al niño en su carrera: Aun cuando fuere viejo no se apartará de ella.
Instruis l'enfant selon la voie qu'il doit suivre; Et quand il sera vieux, il ne s'en détournera pas.
Ammaestra il fanciullo, secondo la via ch’egli ha da tenere; Egli non si dipartirà da essa, non pur quando sarà diventato vecchio
Educa a criança no caminho em que deve andar; e até quando envelhecer não se desviará dele.
教養孩童走當行的道, 就是到老他也不偏離。
