3 He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his soul; destruction shall be to him that openeth wide his lips.
4 A sluggard's soul desireth and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
6 Righteousness preserveth him that is perfect in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 There is that feigneth himself rich, and hath nothing; there is that maketh himself poor, and hath great wealth.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity diminisheth; but he that gathereth by manual-labour shall increase it.
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be held by it; but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; but it is abomination to the foolish to depart from evil.
20 He that walketh with wise men becometh wise; but a companion of the foolish will be depraved.
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; but the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous man.
