Proverbs 14:24

English Standard Version 2016

The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the folly of fools brings folly.

See the chapter Copy

And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.

and he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.

Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his folly will not depart from him.

He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor.

The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

The ransom of a man’s life is his wealth, but a poor man hears no threat.

In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.

Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man’s dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.
