He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife;\par\tab But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.
But godliness with contentment is great gain:
The liberal soul shall be made fat;\par\tab And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
By pride cometh only contention;\par\tab But with the well-advised is wisdom.
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing;\par\tab But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
Hatred stirreth up strifes;\par\tab But love covereth all transgressions.
The fear of man bringeth a snare;\par\tab But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.
An angry man stirreth up strife,\par\tab And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
Cast out the scoffer, and contention will go out;\par\tab Yea, strife and ignominy will cease.
The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name;\par\tab He worketh in the arrogance of pride.
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart;\par\tab {\i And} good tidings make the bones fat.
A wrathful man stirreth up contention;\par\tab But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
O Jehovah of hosts,\par\tab Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.\par
and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Jehovah will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish;\par\tab But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;\par\tab But he that hateth bribes shall live.
