22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
22 What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar.
22 It's only human to want to make a buck, but it's better to be poor than a liar.
22 What is desired in a man is kindness, And a poor man is better than a liar.
22 Loyalty makes a person attractive. It is better to be poor than dishonest.
