⁹ Honor Yahweh with your substance,
    with the first fruits of all your increase:
¹⁰ so your barns will be filled with plenty,
    and your vats will overflow with new wine.

² Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
    but righteousness delivers from death.
³ Yahweh will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry,
    but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
⁴ He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,
    but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

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

²² Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth,
    and he adds no trouble to it.
