Proverbs 14:24

The Scriptures 1998

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

See the chapter Copy

He scattered abroad, He gave to the poor, His righteousness is standing forever. His horn is exalted with esteem.

The blessing of יהוה makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it.

The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, But the poor does not hear rebuke.

In all labour there is profit, But talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

Desirable treasure and oil, Are in the dwelling of the wise, But a foolish man swallows it up.

Even if you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle Along with crushed grain, His folly shall not leave him.

And He shall be the trustworthiness of your times, a wealth of deliverance, wisdom and knowledge. The fear of יהוה – that is His treasure.

“And would I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they shall receive you into everlasting dwellings?
