9  Honor the Lord with your wealth

and with the firstfruits of all your produce;

4  ⁿA slack hand causes poverty,

^obut the hand of the diligent makes rich.

1  ^uA false balance is an abomination to the Lord,

but a just weight is his delight.

16  ^qBetter is a little with the fear of the Lord

than great treasure and trouble with it.

11  ^tA just balance and scales are the Lord’s;

all the weights in the bag are his work.
