Proverbs 14:24

The crown of the wise is their wisdom, but folly is the garland of fools.

He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; 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 has no means of redemption.

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

Precious treasure remains in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.

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

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

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