Household, priests, and the poor

18 Don’t trade a friend for cash
    or a genuine friend for the gold of Ophir.
19 Don’t neglect[a] a wise and good wife,
    for her grace is worth more than gold.
20 Don’t abuse household slaves
who work hard
    or laborers who devote themselves
    to their work.
