A [good] name is rather to be chosen than great riches; loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2
The rich and poor meet together; Jehovah is the maker of them all.

The reward of humility [and] the fear of Jehovah is riches, and honour, and life.

Thorns [and] snares are in the way of the perverse: he that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.

Train up the child according to the tenor of his way, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
