Esteem her highly and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her.

Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the first fruits of all your crops;

When there were no deep oceans I was born, when there were no springs overflowing with water;

Better is a person of humble standing who nevertheless has a servant, than one who pretends to be somebody important yet has no food.

The one who neglects discipline ends up in poverty and shame, but the one who accepts reproof is honored.

The one who oppresses the poor insults his Creator, but whoever shows favor to the needy honors him.

The one who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever takes care of his master will be honored.
