And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
And does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
There is one who scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who heeds counsel is wise.
Without counsel, plans go awry,
But in the multitude of counselors they are established.
Where there is no counsel, the people fall;
But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
He who has a slack hand becomes poor,
But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
There is desirable treasure,
And oil in the dwelling of the wise,
But a foolish man squanders it.
He who has a slack hand becomes poor,
But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
He who gathers in summer is a wise son;
He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender.
Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge,
One of those who is surety for debts;
If you have nothing with which to pay,
Why should he take away your bed from under you?
There were also some who said, “We have mortgaged our lands and vineyards and houses, that we might buy grain because of the famine.”
There were also those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our lands and vineyards. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards.”
How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.
He who is slothful in his work
Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.
But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing;
And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who heeds counsel is wise.
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.
