Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words. When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. Her profits will go to those wh o live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothes. O LORD, by your hand save me from such men, from men of this world whose reward is in this life. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
