Proverbs 1:19

Modern English Version

¹⁹So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain,
which takes away the life of its owners.

Proverbs 3:14

Modern English Version

¹⁴for her benefit is more profitable than silver,
and her gain than fine gold.

¹⁶The labor of the righteous tends to life,
the fruit of the wicked to sin.

²⁸He who trusts in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will flourish as a branch.

¹⁵There is gold and a multitude of rubies,
but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

22 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,
and loving favor rather than silver and gold.
