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.
