⁹ Honor Jehovah with thy substance,
And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:
¹⁰ So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

² Treasures of wickedness profit nothing;
But righteousness delivereth from death.
³ Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish;
But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
⁴ He becometh poor that worketh with a slack hand;
But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

¹⁵ The rich man’s wealth is his strong city:
The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

²² The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich;
And ^[a]he addeth no sorrow therewith.

⁴ Riches profit not in the day of wrath;
But righteousness delivereth from death.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat;
And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches shall fall;
But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

⁷ There is that ^[a]maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing:
There is that ^[b]maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth.
⁸ The ransom of a man’s life is his riches;
But the poor heareth no ^[c]threatening.

¹¹ Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished;
But he that gathereth ^[a]by labor shall have increase.

²² A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children;
And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.
