Das wenige, das ein Gerechter hat, ist besser als das große Gut vieler Gottlosen.
Mejor es lo poco del justo, Que las riquezas de muchos pecadores.
Más vale lo poco del justo que la abundancia de muchos malvados.
Mieux vaut le peu du juste Que l'abondance de beaucoup de méchants;
Meglio vale il poco del giusto, Che l’abbondanza di molti empi.
Vale mais o pouco que tem o justo, do que as riquezas de muitos ímpios.
一個義人所有的雖少, 強過許多惡人的富餘。
