15
Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are of the Lord: love, and the way of good works, are from Him.
16
Error and darkness had their beginning together with sinners, and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein.
17
The gift of the Lord remaineth with the godly, and His favor bringeth prosperity for ever.
18
There is one that waxeth rich by his wariness and pinching, and this is the portion of his reward:
19
whereas he saith, "I have found rest, and now will eat continually of my goods," yet he knoweth not what time shall come upon him, and that he must leave those things to others, and die.
20
Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be occupied therein, and wax old in thy work.
21
Marvel not at the works of sinners, but trust in the Lord, and abide in thy labor; for it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord suddenly to make a poor man rich.
22
The blessing of the Lord is the reward of the godly, and suddenly He maketh his blessing to flourish.
23
Say not, "What profit is there in my service, and what good things shall I have hereafter?"
24
Again, say not, "I have enough and possess many things, and what evil can come to me hereafter?"
25
In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of affliction, and in the day of affliction there is no more remembrance of prosperity.
