26 Money and strength will lift upone’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 Lordis like an orchard of blessing,and it covers a personmore fully than any glory.
28 My child, don’t live the life of a beggar;it’s better to die than to beg.
29 When people lookto another person’s table,their way of lifecannot be considered a life.They pollute themselvesby eating someone else’s food,but a person who is intelligentand educated will guardagainst that.
30 In the mouth of the shameless,begging is sweet,but a fire will burn inside of them.
