⁴ Riches profit not in the day of wrath:
    but righteousness delivereth from death.

¹⁶ A gracious woman retaineth honour:
    and strong men retain riches.

¹⁷ The merciful man doeth good to his own soul:
    but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

¹⁸ The wicked worketh a deceitful work:
    but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches shall fall:
    but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

¹¹ Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished:
    but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

¹⁶ Better is little with the fear of the Lord
    than great treasure and trouble therewith.

²⁷ He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
    but he that hateth gifts shall live.

⁸ A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it:
    whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

¹⁷ Bread of deceit is sweet to a man;
    but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

²¹ An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning;
    but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

⁵ The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness;
    but of every one that is hasty only to want.

⁶ The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
    is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

⁷ The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them;
    because they refuse to do judgment.
