22 You should want a good name more than you want great riches.
    To be highly respected is better than having silver or gold.

² The Lord made rich people and poor people.
    That’s what they have in common.

⁷ Rich people rule over those who are poor.
    Borrowers are slaves to lenders.

⁹ Those who give freely will be blessed.
    That’s because they share their food with those who are poor.

¹⁶ You might treat poor people badly or give gifts to rich people.
    Trying to get rich in these ways will instead make you poor.
