Proverbs 14:24

Tree of Life Version

The crown of the wise is their riches, but the folly of fools is foolishness.

See the chapter Copy

He gives freely to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn is lifted high in honor.

The blessing of Adonai brings wealth and He adds no trouble with it.

A man’s riches may ransom his life, but a poor person hears no threat.

In all hard work there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Precious treasure and oil are in a wise person’s dwelling, but a foolish person devours all he has.

Even if you pound the fool along with the grain in a mortar with a pestle, his foolishness would never leave him.

It will be your time of faithfulness, a wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge— the fear of Adonai is His treasure.

I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the wealth of the world, so when it runs out, they will welcome you into the eternal shelters.
