¹⁹ So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;
It taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

¹⁴ For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver,
And the profit thereof than fine gold.

¹⁶ The labor of the righteous tendeth to life;
The increase of the wicked, to sin.

²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches shall fall;
But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

¹⁵ There is gold, and abundance of rubies;
But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

22 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,
And ^[a]loving favor rather than silver and gold.
