and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need like an armed man.

and your poverty will come like a bandit, and your need like an armed robber.”

One person is generous and yet grows more wealthy, but another withholds more than he should and comes to poverty.

In all hard work there is profit, but merely talking about it only brings poverty.

The plans of the diligent lead only to plenty, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.

The one who oppresses the poor to increase his own gain and the one who gives to the rich – both end up only in poverty.

The one who gives to the poor will not lack, but whoever shuts his eyes to them will receive many curses.

The one who loves pleasure will be a poor person; whoever loves wine and anointing oil will not be rich.
