⁴ By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life.

⁷ The ^(A)rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender.

¹⁶ He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches,
And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.

^4 (A)Do not overwork to be rich;
^(B)Because of your own understanding, cease!
^5 [a]Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

¹¹ The rich man is wise in his own eyes,
But the poor who has understanding searches him out.

^19 (A)He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!

²⁰ A faithful man will abound with blessings,
^(B)But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.

²² A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
And does not consider that ^(A)poverty will come upon him.

^25 (A)He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,
^(B)But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.
