¹⁹ So the paths of each avaricious man ravish, or take away, the souls of them that wield (them).

¹⁴ The getting thereof is better than the merchandise of gold and of silver; the fruits thereof be the first and the cleanest.

¹⁶ The work of a just man is to life; but the fruit of a wicked man is to sin. (The work of a good person serveth unto life; but the fruit of the wicked is sin.)

²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall; but just men shall burgeon as a green leaf (but the righteous shall flourish like the green leaves).

¹⁵ Gold, and the multitude of gems, and a precious vessel, be the lips of knowing (be the value of words of knowledge, or of wise words).

22 Better is a good name, than many riches; for good grace is above silver and gold (for a good reputation is more valuable than silver and gold).
