Proverbs 14:24

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

The crown of the wise is their riches: the folly of fools, imprudence.

See the chapter Copy

And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.

And there shall be faith in thy times, riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.

Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.

Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.

The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but he that is poor beareth not reprehension.

In much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is oftentimes want.

There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it.
