an
evil
eye
, and considereth
not
that poverty shall
come
upon
him.

Than one
who

not
wrong."

of

who
is greedy
stirs
up strife ;

who
trusts
in Yahweh
will
prosper
.

that
is of
a
proud
heart
stirreth
up strife :
but he
that
putteth
his
trust
in the
LORD
shall
be
made
fat
.

who
trusts
in himself
is a fool ;
But one
who
walks
in
wisdom
, he is
kept
safe
.

that
trusteth
in his
own
heart
is a fool :
but whoso
walketh
wisely
, he shall
be
delivered
.

who
gives
to
the poor has
no
lack ;

who
closes
his eyes will
have many curses
.

that
giveth
unto
the poor shall
not
lack :
but he
that
hideth
his eyes shall
have many a
curse
.

But when they perish, the righteous thrive
.
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves :
but when they perish, the righteous increase
.
