⁹ Honor the Lord with your wealth
    and with the best part of everything you produce.
¹⁰ Then he will fill your barns with grain,
    and your vats will overflow with good wine.

¹⁵ The wealth of the rich is their fortress;
    the poverty of the poor is their destruction.

⁴ Riches won’t help on the day of judgment,
    but right living can save you from death.

²⁸ Trust in your money and down you go!
    But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.

⁸ The rich can pay a ransom for their lives,
    but the poor won’t even get threatened.
