12
There is another who is slow and needs help, who lacks strength and abounds in poverty; but the eyes of the Lord look upon him for his good; he lifts him out of his low estate
13
and raises up his head, so that many are amazed at him.
14
Good things and bad, life and death, poverty and wealth, come from the Lord.
17
The gift of the Lord endures for those who are godly, and what he approves will have lasting success.
18
There is a man who is rich through his diligence and self-denial, and this is the reward allotted to him:
19
when he says, "I have found rest, and now I shall enjoy my goods!" he does not know how much time will pass until he leaves them to others and dies.
20
Stand by your covenant and attend to it, and grow old in your work.
21
Do not wonder at the works of a sinner, but trust in the Lord and keep at your toil; for it is easy in the sight of the Lord to enrich a poor man quickly and suddenly.
22
The blessing of the Lord is the reward of the godly, and quickly God causes his blessing to flourish.
