14
Good things and evil, life and death, poverty and riches, are from God.
15
Wisdom and discipline, and the knowledge of the law are with God. Love and the ways of good things are with him
16
Error and darkness are created with sinners: and they that glory in evil things, grow old in evil.
17
The gift of God abideth with the just, and his advancement shall have success for ever.
18
There is one that is enriched by living sparingly, and this is the portion of his reward.
19
In that he saith: I have found me rest, and now I will eat of my goods alone:
20
And he knoweth not what time shall pass, and that death approacheth, and that he must leave all to others, and shall die.
21
Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be conversant therein, and grow old in the work of thy commandments.
22
Abide not in the works of sinners. But trust in God, and stay in thy place.
23
For it is easy in the eyes of God on a sudden to make the poor man rich.
24
The blessing of God maketh haste to reward the just, and in a swift hour his blessing beareth fruit.
