⁴ The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah
Is riches, and honor, and life.

⁷ The rich ruleth over the poor;
And the borrower is servant to the lender.

¹⁶ He that oppresseth the poor to increase his gain,
And he that giveth to the rich, shall come only to want.

⁴ Weary not thyself to be rich;
Cease ^[a]from thine own wisdom.
^5 [b]Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings,
Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.

¹¹ The rich man is wise in ^[a]his own conceit;
But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

¹⁹ He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread;
But he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
²⁰ A faithful man shall abound with blessings;
But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.

²² He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches,
And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.

²⁵ He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife;
But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.

⁸ Remove far from me falsehood and lies;
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with ^[a]the food that is needful for me:
⁹ Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah?
Or lest I be poor, and steal,
And ^[b]use profanely the name of my God.
