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.

⁴ He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand,
    but the hand of the diligent brings wealth.

²⁴ There is one who scatters, and increases yet more.
    There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat.
    He who waters shall be watered also himself.

²⁸ He who trusts in his riches will fall,
    but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

¹¹ He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread,
    but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

¹⁴ A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth.
    The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.

²⁷ The slothful man doesn’t roast his game,
    but the possessions of diligent men are prized.

⁴ The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing,
    but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.

¹¹ Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,
    but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
