2  ^fTreasures gained by wickedness do not profit,

^gbut righteousness delivers from death.

21  ⁱAn inheritance gained hastily in the beginning

will not be blessed in the end.

6  ^hThe getting of treasures by a lying tongue

is a ⁱfleeting ^jvapor and a ^ksnare of death.¹

20  A faithful man will abound with blessings,

but whoever hastens to be rich ^jwill not go unpunished.

22  A ^mstingy man^{1 n}hastens after wealth

and does not know that ^opoverty will come upon him.
