26
Money and strength will lift up one's heart, but fearing the Lord is better than both. If you fear the Lord, you'll lack nothing; if you have it, there's no reason to look for help.
27
Fear of the Lord is like an orchard of blessing, and it covers a person more fully than any glory.
28
My child, don't live the life of a beggar; it's better to die than to beg.

When people look to another person's table, their way of life cannot be considered a life. They pollute themselves by eating someone else's food, but a person who is intelligent and educated will guard against that.
30
In the mouth of the shameless, begging is sweet, but a fire will burn inside of them.
