The crown of the wise is their riches; But the folly of fools is only folly.
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.
And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah is thy treasure.
Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with bruised grain, Yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor.
The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith.
The ransom of a man’s life is his riches; But the poor heareth no threatening.
In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swalloweth it up.
