⁹ Honor the Lord with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

¹⁰ so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

¹⁵ The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

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

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

⁸ The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, but the poor heareth not rebuke.

²⁰ The poor is hated even by his own neighbor, but the rich hath many friends.

²⁴ The crown of the wise is their riches, but the foolishness of fools is folly.

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

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fattened ox and hatred therewith.

⁵ Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker, and he that is glad at calamities shall not go unpunished.

¹⁶ Why should there be in the hands of a fool the price to purchase wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to acquire it?
