The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding,
    but (A)a companion of gluttons shames his father.
Whoever multiplies his wealth (B)by interest and profit[a]
    (C)gathers it for him who is (D)generous to the poor.
If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,
    even his (E)prayer is an abomination.
