Proverbs 21:
God has the king’s heart in his
hand. Being godly is more acceptable to God than sacrifice. Snobbish eyes and
a proud heart are the lamps of the wicked that leads to sins. Wealth made by
deceitful lips is like disappearing vapor. Better to live in a roof corner or a
desert than with a quarrelsome wife. Punish the mocker and wicked, the children
get wisdom. A righteous man watches the house of the wicked and brings them to
ruin. He that ignores the poor will also be ignored by others when he needs
help. The godless and wicked become a ransom for the godly.
Proverbs 22:
A good name is superior to
riches. God made both the rich and poor. Humility and reverence of God brings
wealth, honor, and life. The godly with a gracious speech will even have the
king as a friend. God watches over knowledge. He who oppresses the poor or
give gifts to the rich in order to increase and build wealth will both come to
poverty. Never exploit the poor or crush the need in court because God will
plunder you. Never put up security for debts except for your children. A
skilled man serves kings. |
