Proverbs 21:6; Proverbs 21:13–14; Proverbs 21:17; Proverbs 21:20; Proverbs 21:26
6 hThe getting of treasures by a lying tongue
13 qWhoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor
will himself call out and not be answered.
14 rA gift in secret averts anger,
and a concealed bribe,1 strong wrath.
17 Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man;
he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.
20 xPrecious treasure and oil are in a wise man’s dwelling,
but a foolish man ydevours it.
26 All day long he craves and craves,
but the righteous hgives and does not hold back.
