Proverbs 1:19

International Standard Version

¹⁹Such is the way of all those who seek illicit gain—
it takes away the lives of those who possess it.

Proverbs 3:14

International Standard Version

¹⁴because her profit is better than the profit of silver,
and her yield than fine gold.

¹⁶Honorable wages lead^[a] to life;
the salaries of the wicked, to retribution.

²⁸The person who trusts in his wealth will fall,
but the righteous will flourish like green leaves.

¹⁵There is an abundance of gold and precious stones,
but lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.

22 A good reputation is more desirable than great wealth,
and favorable acceptance more than silver and gold.
