⁶Better to be poor and honest
than to be dishonest and rich.

Proverbs 28:6

Common English Bible

⁶Better to be poor and walk in innocence
than to be on crooked paths and wealthy.

¹⁹A hard worker has plenty of food,
but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.

¹⁹Those who work the land will have plenty to eat,
but those with worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

²⁵Greed causes fighting;
trusting the Lord leads to prosperity.

²⁵Greedy people stir up conflict,
but those who trust the Lord become prosperous.

²⁷Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing,
but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.

²⁷Those who give to the poor will lack nothing,
but those who turn a blind eye will be greatly cursed.
