⁴ The reward of a gentle spirit and the fear of the Lord is wealth and honour and life.

²¹ He who goes after righteousness and mercy will get life, righteousness, and honour.

¹⁵ For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

¹⁶ Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.

¹ Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

² His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

³ A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

¹⁰ Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him.

⁶ But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.

⁸ For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.

³³ But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

⁶ And she will have no more fear of change, being full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is her wealth.

⁹ Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.

¹⁰ The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.
