⁹ Honor Yahweh from your substance,^[a]
    and from the firstfruits of all that will come to you,
¹⁰ and your barns shall be full of plenty,
    and your vats shall burst with new wine.

² Treasures of wickedness do not profit,
    but righteousness delivers from death.
³ Yahweh will not cause a righteous person^[a] to go hungry,
    but the craving of the wicked he will thwart.
⁴ A slack hand causes poverty,
    but the hand of the diligent enriches.

¹⁵ The wealth of the rich is the city of his strength;
    the ruin of the poor is their poverty.

²² The blessing of Yahweh makes one rich,
    and he does not increase sorrow with it.

⁴ Wealth does not profit on the day of wrath,
    but righteousness will deliver from death.

²⁵ A person of blessing will be enriched,
    and he who gives water also will be refreshed.

²⁸ He who trusts in his wealth is he who will fall,
    but like a green leaf the righteous will flourish.

⁷ There is one who acts rich but has nothing;^[a]
    another who pretends to be poor but has wealth.
⁸ The ransom of the life of a man is his wealth,
    but the poor does not receive a threat.

¹¹ Wealth gained from haste^[a] will dwindle,
    but he who gathers little by little^[b] will increase it.

²² He who is good will leave an inheritance to his grandchildren,^[a]
    and stored up for the righteous is the wealth of a sinner.
