¹⁸ They lie in wait for their own blood.
    They ambush their own lives.
¹⁹ Thus are the ways of all who are greedy for gain—
    it will take the life of its possessors.

¹⁶ Better is little with the fear of Yahweh
    than great treasure and trouble with it.^[a]

²⁷ He who makes trouble for his house is he who is greedy for unjust gain,
    but he who hates bribes will live.

²⁶ All day^[a] he craves a craving,
    but the righteous will give and not hold back.

¹⁶ If you find honey, eat what is sufficient for you,
    lest you have your fill of it and vomit it out.

²⁰ Sheol^[a] and Abaddon^[b] will not be satisfied,
    and the eyes of a person will not be satisfied either.

⁶ Better to be poor and walking in one’s integrity
    than to be crooked of ways when one is rich.

⁸ He who augments his wealth with interest and with usury
    gathers it for him who is kind to the poor.

²² He who hurries for wealth is a man with an evil eye,^[a]
    but he does not know that poverty will come upon him.
