11Wealth gotten hastily with iniquity is diminished: but he that gathers for himself with godliness shall be increased. The righteous is merciful, and lends.
12Better is he that begins to help heartily, than he that promises and leads another to hope: for a good desire is a tree of life.
13He that slights a matter shall be slighted of it: but he that fears the commandment has health of soul.
13aTo a crafty son there shall be nothing good: but a wise servant shall have prosperous doings, and his way shall be directed aright.
